Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC902lp3e is a GaAs mmiC low Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 3x3 mm plastic surface mount package. The amplifier operates between 5 and 10 GHz, providing 19 dB of small signal gain, 1.8 dB noise figure, and output ip3 of +28 dBm, while requiring only 80 mA from a +3.5V supply. The p1dB output power of +16 dBm enables the lNA to function as a lo driver for balanced, i/Q or image reject mixers. The HmC902lp3e also features i/os that are DC blocked and internally matched to 50 ohms, making it ideal for high capacity microwave radios and C-Band VsAT applications.

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.
