The AMM-7199SM is a surface-mount amplifier suitable for use as a single tone driver or general-purpose gain block. It can drive an L or H diode mixer from 11 to 38 GHz, or S diode mixer from 16 to 34 GHz. This amplifier also has exceptionally low input and output reflections, and excellent gain flatness in-band. The AMM-7199SM is packaged in a compact 3mm QFN for surface mount integration onto printed circuit boards.
