General Notes:
1. I & Q networks are integrated networks that produce two quadrature phased, equal amplitude signals
when fed RF and LO signals.
2. The IQM-9B-500 I&Q network includes specially designed lead/lag circuits to provide superior
performance across extraordinarily wide bandwidths as is required in applications such as spread
spectrum communications.
3. Merrimac I & Q networks comply with the relevant sections of MIL-M-28837 and may be supplied
screened for compliance with additional specifications for military and space applications requiring the
highest reliability.
