General Description
The HMC318MS8G & HMC318MS8GE are surface mount low cost C-band variable gain low noise amplifiers (VGLNA) that serve the full UNII and HiperLAN bands. The HMC318MS8G & HMC318MS8GE operate using a single positive supply that can be set between +3V or +5V. When a control voltage of 0V to +3V is applied, the gain of the amplifier will decrease while maintaining excellent return loss performance. A maximum gain of 9 dB is achieved when VCTL is set to 0V and a minimum gain of -9 dB is achieved when Vctl is set to +3V.

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.
