GaAs PHEMT MMIC

POWER AMPLIFIER, 2 - 20 GHz

v03.0308

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC464LP5 & HMC464LP5E are GaAs MMIC

PHEMT Distributed Power Amplifiers in leadless 5 x

5 mm surface mount packages which operate bet-

ween 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 14 dB

of gain, +30 dBm output IP3 and +26 dBm of output

power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring

290 mA from a +8V supply. Gain flatness is good

from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC464LP5(E) ideal for

EW, ECM and radar driver amplifiers as well as test

equipment applications. The wideband amplifier I/O’s

are internally matched to 50 Ohms.

P1dB Output Power: +26 dBm

Gain: 14 dB

Output IP3: +30 dBm

Supply Voltage: +8V @ 290 mA

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

Typical Applications

The HMC464LP5 / HMC464LP5E is ideal for:

• Telecom Infrastructure

• Microwave Radio & VSAT

• Test Instrumentation

• Fiber Optics
