Amplifiers for Synthesizer and Local Oscillator Generation: The Unsung Application

Many amplifiers in a typical RF/microwave system are used for single frequency applications: for local oscillator and clock generation. However, amplifiers are typically designed and characterized only for signal applications.

In this short (30 minute) webinar, we will discuss: 

• Do gain flatness, IP3, and noise figure really matter for LO drivers? 
• Phase noise: the impact of amplifier selection
• Save time with more usable amps: positive gain slope, positive only bias, and SWAP optimized drivers"
