The MX40000PRO is a wideband high-performance general purpose microwave double-balanced mixer with integrated 26GHz – 40GHz programmable LO generator. LO frequency can be set with front controls, or the provided windows PC application via USB or Ethernet. Using its ultra-low noise internal oven-controlled reference source, the LO signal has extremely low phase noise. The MX40000PRO makes a convenient upconverter or downconverter by eliminating the need for extra cabling and a separate bulky, expensive, high-frequency signal source.
