ADE-6B is an active double-balanced mixer module designed based on a high-performance chip architecture. It features a metal shielded enclosure and standard SMA RF connector, equipped with an independent Type-C DC power supply interface. The module integrates internal bias and active amplification circuitry, capable of performing RF signal up/down conversion while compensating for inherent mixing loss and providing signal gain. It offers excellent port isolation and low noise performance, making it ideal for RF receive and transmit links that require improved system sensitivity and simplified LO drive design. Widely used in shortwave (HF) and VHF radio systems, software defined radio (SDR) front-ends, cellular mobile communication equipment, and various transceivers that require link loss compensation and improved receive sensitivity. With its built-in gain compensation and independent power supply design, it is particularly suitable as an IF or RF frequency conversion stage for weak signal reception systems, and is also commonly used in RF test instruments and signal monitoring equipment.
Frequency range: 0.05 MHz – 250 MHz Mixer type: active double-balanced mixer Power supply: Type-C independent DC (with LED indicator) Local oscillator power (LO): typical +7 dBm (chip-level requirement) Port isolation: typical 40 dB (L-R) RF connector: SMA female
