RPG offers broadband harmonic mixers with integrated isolator for optimum RF matching. Hence standing waves, usually degrading RF power measurement accuracy, are suppressed. With each mixer covering a full waveguide band, the complete frequency range from 50 to 220 GHz becomes accessible for accurate power and frequency response measurements.

If the devices listed here do not match your needs, please feel free to contact us and ask for a custom-designed quotation!
