Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC604lp3(e) is a versatile, high dynamic range GaAs mmiC low Noise Amplifier that integrates a low loss lNA bypass mode on the iC. The amplifier is ideal for wimAX & C-band radio receivers operating between 4.8 and 6.0 GHz and provides 1.5 dB noise figure, 15 dB of gain and +26 dBm ip3 from a single supply of +5V @ 42mA. input and output return losses are 12 and 14 dB respectively with no external matching components required. A single control line (0/Vdd) is used to switch between lNA mode and a low loss bypass mode which reduces the current consumption to 10 µA.
