MX2500L 5-2500MHz RF Mixer

DS Instruments MX2500 2.5GHz RF Mixer with integrated LO

DS Instruments MX2500L 5-2500MHz RF Mixer

The most compact and economical microwave integrated-mixer family on the planet.

New from DS Instruments, the MX2500L is a wideband high-performance RF mixer with integrated 35- 2500MHz Local Oscillator. LO frequency can be set with front controls, USB commands, or the provided windows PC application. The MX2500L makes an extremely convenient low-noise upconverter or downconverter by eliminating the need for cabling and a separate signal source. New internal harmonic filtering keeps undesired mixer spurs to a minimum!
