Can I adjust the output power of the HMC1110 multiplier?

Question

It looks like the output power is about +13dBm for an input power of +4dBm. What if I use an input power of about (for eg) -5dBm? Is there a conversion gain plot or something available? 
 Thanks

Hi there, 
 There is no conversion gain plot available. The typical input power is 0 - 6dBm with a maximum drive level of +10dBm. Use of lower drive levels may result in performance degradation so I would encourage you to test several devices over supply and temperature variation to be sure that the performance will be adequate for your application.

Hi Fotis, 
 You'll need to characterize this yourself as it sounds like you're using this to characterize an E-band mixer. We do offer E band VGA's (HMC8120 & HMC8121). Perhaps these will help.
