A broad-band VHF mixer exhibiting high image rejection over a multidecade baseband frequency range

Abstract
Image-suppressing frequency converters operating over greater than octave RF and LO input bandwidths in the VHF frequency range are described. The devices, designed for RF to video conversion, exhibit very flat conversion loss response and greater than 34 dB rejection of the undesired sideband at any baseband frequency between 186 kHz and 50 MHz.
