• Frequency range at IF, LO and RF ports
• LO power level
• Conversion Loss
• Isolation between ports
• 1dB compression point
• third order intercept point
• VSWR or return loss
• Image rejection
High third order intercept point, high LO/RF and LO/IF isolation is ideal choice for best performance RF mixer. Moreover in rf design requiring image rejection, one need to buy RF mixer with better image rejection or high image rejection.
