Marki Microwave New Releases: Lowest Phase Noise Amplifier and 2-22GHz SMT Mixer
Latest Low Phase Noise 2-29GHz
LO Amplifier Optimized for Marki Mixers
Our quest to eradicate phase noise continues with the new APM-6849 LO amplifier, available as bare die or connectorized module. To enable the next generation of noise-sensitive applications including radar, wireless chipset testing, and frequency sources we designed the APM-6849 to achieve a low additive phase noise of -170dBc/Hz at 10kHz offset. Featuring positive-only bias and requiring no external bias tees or power sequencing, this GaAs MMIC provides high output power from 2 to 29 GHz while only drawing 23mA at 5V. The APM-6849 is a single stage HBT design with 11dB of small-signal gain and +21dBm typical saturated output power, ideal for driving our L, H, and S-diode high linearity mixers. If your application requires more gain take a look at our new APM-6848, a dual-stage low phase noise amplifier with 23dB gain and the same +21dBm Psat. Email us today for samples.

Versatile 2 to 22GHz High Linearity Mixer in Small 3mm QFN
The new innovative MM1-0222HSM is extremely versatile with a wide 2 to 22 GHz RF/LO bandwidth and LO drive operation from +12 to +20dBm. This high linearity GaAs MMIC mixer offers excellent spurious suppressions and 50dB LO-RF isolation, ideal for radar, electronic warfare and test & measurement. The MM1-0222HSM is offered in a 3x3mm QFN package, and also in bare die as MM1-0222HCH. Pair these with our new APM series of low phase noise LO amplifiers for the ultimate combination of low noise, high linearity, and wide bandwidth.
