Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC994LP5E is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Distributed
Wideband Power Amplifier which operates between
DC and 28 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB of gain,
+29 dBm of saturated output power, and 23% PAE
from a +10V supply. With up to +38 dBm Output IP3 the
HMC994LP5E is ideal for high linearity applications in
military and space as well as point-to-point and pointto-multi-point radios. The HMC994LP5E exhibits a
very flat gain from 4 to 16 GHz making it ideal for EW,
ECM, Radar and test equipment applications. The
HMC994LP4E amplifier I/Os are internally matched to
50 Ohms and is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm
surface mount package.

The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should
have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground
leads and exposed paddle should be connected
directly to the ground plane similar to that shown.
A sufficient number of via holes should be used to
connect the top and bottom ground planes. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
