General Description
The HMC375LP3 & HMC375LP3E high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifiers are ideal for GSM & CDMA cellular basestation front-end receivers operating between 1.7 and 2.2 GHz. This LNA has been optimized to provide 0.9 dB noise figure, 17 dB gain and +33 dBm output IP3 from a single supply of +5V @ 136mA. Input and output return losses are 14 dB typical with the LNA requiring minimal external components to optimize the RF input match, RF ground and DC bias. For applications which require improved noise figure, please see the HMC618LP3(E).

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.
