General Description
The HMC943LP5E is a four stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC 1.5 Watt Power Amplifier which operates between 24 and 31.5 GHz. The HMC943LP5E provides 22 dB of gain, and +34 dBm of saturated output power and 24% PAE from a +5.5V supply. The high output IP3 of +41 dBm makes the HMC943LP5E ideal for microwave radio applications. The HMC943LP5E amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package and requires no external matching components.

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 board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
