The ADA-0416 can be used as a frequency extender to enhance the frequency range of a <8 GHz synthesizer up to 16 GHz. Useful for lab testing, test and measurement, and prototype systems. It consists of an input buffer amplifier, doubler, and output buffer amplifier to provide a +16 dBm output (suitable for driving most mixers) from a 0-6 dBm input. In addition to operation as a module, it is suitable as a reference design for prototyping using only commercially available surface mount products.
