AMGP-6551
40.5 – 43.5 GHz SMT Packaged Up-Converter
Data Sheet
Description
The AMGP-6551 is a surface mount packaged broadband
Up-converter that combines a sub-harmonic, SSB mixer
with a variable gain ampli er. It is designed for useat fre-
quencies between 37.5 GHz and 43.5 GHz and provides 10
dB of conversion gain with >20 dB gain control dynamic
range. This Up-converter required +20 dBm LO drive level,
and it supports IF from DC to 3 GHz. OIP3 of +20 and +16
dBm are achieved at 40.5 and 43.5 GHz respectively.

Notes:
1. IF can be applied to either IN or Isolation port of a passive Hybrid.
2. If IF is applied to IN port, terminate Isolation port with 50 ohm
3. If IF is applied to Isolation port, terminate IN port with 50 ohm
4. Switching the IF input from In port to Isolation port or vice versa RF
can be switched to LSB or USB
