The APM-6849 is a single stage broadband, low phase noise LO driver amplifier designed to provide saturated +21 dBm output power. This amplifier uses GaAs HBT technology for low phase noise, and provides industry leading -170 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from carrier frequency. The amplifier is also highly efficient with 21% peak PAE at 5 GHz input frequency and low DC current draw. It is optimized to provide enough power to drive the LO port of an S-diode mixer (2 – 20 GHz) and an H/L-diode mixer (2 - 32 GHz). This amplifier is operational with a variety of bias conditions for both low and high-power applications.
