The ADM1-8007PC from Marki Microwave is a Distributed LO Driver Amplifier that operates from 2 to 40 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 22 dBm with a small signal gain of 22 dB and has a noise figure of 3.3 dB. This amplifier is designed to drive the LO stage of a mixer with sufficient power to energize all Markis’ H-Series and most of the S-Series mixers over the entire frequency range. It does not require a bias tee to be externally connected which eliminates the need to provide negative bias or bias sequencing. The amplifier requires a DC supply of up to +8 V and consumes 232 mA of current.
The ADM1-8007PC is available in a module that measures 0.860 x 0.520 inches with 2.92 mm input/output connectors. It is ideal for use in mobile test and measurement equipment, 5G transceivers, driver amplifier H & S – diode mixers, and radar and satellite communications applications.
