APM-7516PA Amplifier Package Diagram
APM-7516 1 GHz – 22 GHz Low Phase Noise Amplifier

The APM-7516 is a robust broadband distributed, low phase noise LO driver amplifier designed to provide greater than +20 dBm output power with excellent return losses and high input power handling.  This amplifier uses GaAs HBT technology for low phase noise and is optimized to provide enough power to drive the LO port of an S-diode mixer from 1 GHz to 18 GHz or of an H or L diode mixer from 1 GHz to 22 GHz.  This amplifier can be operated with a variety of bias conditions for both low power and high-power applications.
