EVAL01-HMC997LC4

HMC997LC4 v02.0514 Variable Gain Amplifier - SMT VARIABLE GAIN AMPLIFIER 17 - 27 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC997LC4 is ideal for: Wide Gain Control Range: 15 dB • Point-to-Point Radio Single Control Voltage • Point-to-Multi-Point Radio Output IP3 @ Max Gain: +31 dBm • EW & ECM Subsystems Output P1dB: +24 dBm No External Matching • Ka-Band Radar 24 Lead 4 x 4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2 • Test Equipment General Description Functional Diagram The HMC997LC4 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT analog variable gain amplifier and/or driver amplifier which operates between 17 and 27 GHz. Ideal for microwave radio applications, the amplifier provides up to 20.5 dB of gain, output P1dB of up to +24 dBm, and up to +31 dBm of output IP3 at maximum gain, while requiring only 170 mA from a +5V supply. A gain control voltage (Vctrl) is provided to allow variable gain control up to 15 dB. Gain flatness is excellent making the HMC997LC4 ideal for EW, ECM and radar applications. The HMC997LC4 is housed in a RoHS compliant 4 x 4 mm ceramic QFN leadless package and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing.
