The APM-7099 from Marki Microwave is a Low Phase Noise Amplifier that operates from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 25 dBm with a typical gain of 14 dB and a noise figure of 5 dB. This amplifier uses GaAs HBT technology to provide low phase noise performance and is the ideal gain stage to boost the low phase noise tone. It is available as a die or in a connectorized module.
This low phase noise amplifier is suitable for applications such as mobile test and measurement equipment, radar, and SATCOM and 5G transceivers. It can also provide sufficient power to drive the LO port of an S-diode mixer from 10 MHz to 15 GHz or of an H or L diode mixer from 10 MHz to 20 GHz.
The low frequency capability and +25 dBm output power ensures compatibility and optimal performance from Marki NLTL generator products such as NLTL-6794SM. The amplifier can be used as an excellent LO driver for Marki Microwave T3 and MT3 series high linearity mixers.
