APM-7516PSM

The APM-7516PSM is a broadband low phase noise driver amplifier designed to provide enough power to drive the LO port of an H or L-diode mixer with a range of input powers. This amplifier uses GaAs HBT technology for low phase noise and provides +18 to 23 dBm output power from 1.5 GHz to 20 GHz. This amplifier can be operated with a variety of bias conditions for both low and high-power applications. The APM-7516SM shows less variation in current supply under saturation than similar HBT amplifiers, has a lower thermal resistance, and is less sensitive to damage from high input powers. The APM-7516PSM is packaged in a compact 4 mm QFN with integrated blocking capacitors and power supply inductor for surface mount integration on circuit board-based systems.
