Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC392LH5 is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier packaged in a hermetic surface mount package which operates between 3.5 and 7 GHz. The amplifier provides 15.4 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and +24.5 dBm output IP3 from a single+5V supply. The HMC392LH5 has six biasing options which allow the user to select the bias point and output power of the device (+13 to +17 dBm). The HMC392LH5 functions well as a low noise or driver amplifier and is ideal for driving the LO port of Hittite mixers. The HMC392LH5 is well suited for high reliability military, industrial and space applications.

[1] Reference this number when ordering complete evaluation PCB [2] Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350.
The circuit board used in this 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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
