Polyakov mixer is interesting because the LO input is at half the operating
frequency, thus helping to minimize LO leakage into preceding stages.
Other than that it can be constructed in almost any standard mixer
configuration as long as the switching happens on both halves of the LO
cycle.  Not sure if it is good or bad as mixers go...just different from
what
we usually see in ham construction.
