For this reason, Marki Microwave is proud to introduce the APM-6848, our first low phase noise amplifier! Featuring positive-only bias and requiring no external bias tees or power sequencing, this GaAs HBT MMIC LO driver will produce more gain and more output power up to higher frequencies than any competing GaAs HBT amplifiers on the market. The APM-6848 is unique among wideband GaAs HBT amplifiers in that it can provide a +21dBm typical saturated output power with an input power of only 0 to 5dBm. This is ideal for driving our L, H, and S-diode mixers in a single stage from your VCO or synthesizer output. Careful consideration was made to power consumption, drawing only 47mA and providing 23dB of gain, making it one of the most power efficient wideband low phase noise amplifiers on the market. The APM-6848 is available today in bare die and connectorized module, and the surface-mount version is coming soon (contact us to learn more).
The DLM-10SM is a tunable, dual channel GaAs Schottky diode signal limiter featuring excellent IP3, insertion loss, and return loss. The limiting level is adjustable with an off-chip bias network, and the two channels can be used for differential or single-ended signals. Typical input P1dB is +10dBm with an operating range of DC to 10 GHz. The DLM-10SM is available in a lead-free, RoHS compliant 3×3 mm QFN surface mount package.
At Marki Microwave, we’re known for pushing the limits on instantaneous bandwidth and it doesn’t get much harder than doing this in an IQ mixer. Building on the accomplishment of the 2 to 18 GHz quadrature splitter MQS-0218, the MMIQ-0218L has an impressive 2 to 18 GHz RF/LO bandwidth and DC to 3 GHz IF. To achieve this 9:1 BW ratio required the expert design and integration of ultrawide mixers, quad hybrids, and power dividers. This MMIC IQ mixer provides +5dBm Input P1dB, 27 dB of image rejection, and 58 dB of L-R Isolation with an LO of +17dBm. Our MMIQ series mixers are used in a variety of applications to provide vector modulation, band shifting, and up/downconversion for radar, EW, test & measurement, and quantum computing. The MMIQ-0218L is available today in bare die and connectorized module.

MQS products are quadture splitter/combiners. They are best used in a single configuration (with port 1 as the input) and offer broader bandwidths with the same excellent phase balance. However, they are not as good in reflective applications. They are still suitable for use in IQ/IR/SSB mixers and other applications where a single quadrature split or combination is required.
