The AMM-6702SM is a surface-mount LO driver amplifier that is designed to provide sufficient LO drive for an H or S diode mixer such as the MM1-1850HSM or MM1-1850SSM across temperature with input power from 0-10 dBm. This ferritic package offers improved resilience to radiative feedback and oscillatory behavior over the bare-die package option, providing the customer with a compact, high gain, wideband LO driver amplifier.
