Hello ,I need to choose an amplifier to power an LO port of two mixers with 17dBm power level at 10GHz without he following datasheets:
for this purpose I need to choose and amplifier with at least P1dB of 21dBm .
one amplifier is VGA (voltage regulated gain amplifier) and the other is a driver type.
What does it mean driver type amplifier does it fit to power the LO ports of my mixers?
