Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC263lp4e is a GaAs mmiC low Noise Amplifier (lNA) which covers the frequency range of 24 to 36 GHz and is housed in a leadless plastic smT package. The HmC263lp4e utilizes a GaAs pHemT process offering 20 dB gain from a single bias supply of + 3V @ 58 mA with a noise figure of 2.2 dB. The HmC263lp4e may be used in conjunction with HmC264lC3B or HmC265lm3 mixers to realize a millimeterwave system receiver. The rf i/os are DC blocked and matched to 50 ohms requiring no external components.

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 package bottom 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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
