The ADA-2052 can be used as a frequency extender to enhance the frequency range of a <26 GHz synthesizer up to 52 GHz. Useful for lab testing, test and measurement, and prototype systems. It consists of an input buffer ADM-5974CH amplifier, MMD 2060HCH doubler, and output buffer AMM 6702CH amplifier to provide a +16 dBm output (suitable for driving most mixers) from a -6 to +2 dBm input.
