Microwave Mixers
Microwave mixers translate the frequency of electromagnetic signals. The mixer is the determining factor in the dynamic range of many systems, particularly receivers. The dynamic range can be limited by the conversion loss, multitone intermodulation products, single tone spurious products, and isolations of the mixer. Marki has a continuing legacy of creating the highest performance RF and microwave mixers in the world.
Multi-octave RF/LO frequency coverage High IF frequency coverage World class single and multitone spurious suppression Low, flat conversion loss Excellent port to port isolations Available in surface mount, module, and bare dieMarki Microwave

8-Channel Oscilloscope
Saelig Company, Inc. has introduced the PicoScope 6000E Series 8-channel 500MHz Oscilloscopes, which provide 8 to 12 bits of vertical resolution, 5GSa/s sampling rate, and 4GSa memory, allowing these scopes to display single-shot pulses with 200ps time resolution. The two models in the 6000 series are the PicoScope 6804E with 8-bit A/D resolution and the PicoScope 6824E with 8, 10, or 12 bits "FlexRes" resolution. Both models can operate with an extra 4 bits of resolution with the enhanced vertical resolution software feature - a digital signal processing technique built into PicoScope 6. These oscilloscopes offer 8 analog channels, plus 8 or 16 optional digital channels when using the plug-in TA369 MSO pods, enabling accurate time-correlation of analog and digital channels.

Spectrum Analyzer Extension Modules
OML can extend the frequency range of your existing spectrum analyzer to millimeter wave frequencies with our single diode unbalanced harmonic mixers. Harmonic mixers are available for the waveguide bands between 18 and 325 GHz. These frequency extension modules are compatible with most spectrum analyzers that offer optional external mixer access. By substituting the harmonic mixer for the existing microwave input, you can expand your spectrum analyzer frequency coverage for millimeter wave measurements.

SSPA
Teledyne Paradise Datacom announced availability of a new, leading edge L- and S-Dual Band solid state power amplifier (SSPA) for today’s evolving satellite command systems. Both S- and L-band frequencies have been the industry’s bands of choice for positioning and tracking applications like global positioning systems (GPS) and Tracking, Telemetry, and Control (TTC) ground stations. This new dual band product offers customers a virtual ‘”two for the price of one” SSPA solution that dramatically lowers the costs of command and control, leaves a much smaller footprint, but also delivers higher reliability compared to traditional klystron power amplifiers.
