General Description
The HMC441LH5 is a broadband 7 to 15.5 GHz GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a hermetic SMT leadless package. The amplifier provides 15 dB of gain and 21.5 dBm of saturated power at 25% PAE from a +5V supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components, and the RF I/Os are DC blocked, making it an ideal linear gain block or driver amplifier. The HMC441LH5 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable for high reliability military, industrial & space applications.

The circuit board used in the final 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.
