MA Com MD-179 Termination Insensitive Mixer – LOT OF 16

The MD-179 (and its variant MDC-179) is a termination-insensitive mixer (TIM) designed for radio-frequency applications. Its architecture enables higher reverse voltage capability during the LO (local oscillator) off-cycle, which enhances performance while minimizing distortion and sensitivity to mismatched external loads.

Key technical specifications include:

• RF frequency range: 1 MHz to 4 GHz

• Nominal impedance: 50 Ω

• Maximum input power: about 350 mW at 25 °C, derated as temperature rises

The MD-179 is marketed as a general-purpose RF mixer, well-suited for systems requiring low distortion, stable performance across mismatches, and wide frequency coverage.
