Power dividers and couplers are straightforward passive components.  It is the attention to design detail, execution of the design, and quality of the fabrication which leads to a high performance component.  This primer presents a basic overview of Marki Microwave power dividers and couplers, and defines power divider and coupler terminology.

The M4-10M10 features 10 MHz to 10 GHz ultra-broadband LO/RF performance, making it unique in the M4 mixer family.  While other M4 mixers are limited to about 500 MHz at the low end, the M4-10M10, with its ferrite-assisted broadband balun construction, performs down to 10 MHz.  The multi-decade performance of the LO/RF makes this mixer ideal for measurements requiring broad bandwidth and low IF frequencies such as Phase Detection, Phase Noise, Amplitude Noise, Noise Figure, etc.  

 

Marki Microwave has introduced a new product line; broadband microwave baluns.  Building upon decades on mixer balun design expertise, Marki Microwave has released two new connectorized baluns capable of frequency coverage from 200 kHz to several GHz.  These new baluns offer state-of-the art matching techniques that achieve unparalleled phase balance and amplitude balance.  The BAL-0003, for example, achieves a typical phase balance of +/- 1 degree and a typical amplitude balance of +/- 0.05 dB from 200 kHz to 3 GHz.  The BAL-0006 offers similar phase and amplitude balance from 200 kHz to 6 GHz.  Applications for these baluns include Analog to Digital Converters (ADC), Balanced Receivers, Baseband Digital Modulation and Signal Integrity.  Additional product offerings are expected in the future, contact Marki Microwave if you would like more information on this exciting new product line.
