MITEQ’s AR model series offers state-of-the-art low-noise amplifiers integrated with our ultra-small image
rejection mixers to provide a complete receiver front-end assembly. This device comes in a nonhermetic
housing, however a hermetically-sealed housing is available for extreme environmental conditions.
