The effects that you'd want to model in this type of balanced mixer are:
1. loss in the transformers
2. diode 'off' state capacitance
3. diode switching characteristics
4. stray capacitances
5. imbalances
For a simple mixer model, I'd start with an ideal transformer. Find a
Schottky diode model that seems appropriate.
Add some reasonable stray capacitances. You can tweak the balance by
judiciously tampering with the diode model
and/or the capacitors across the center-tapped transformer windings.
Hope this helps,
