HMC963LC4

HMC963LC4 v01.1210 GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 6 - 26.5 GHz Features low Noise figure: 2.5 dB High Gain: 22 dB p1dB output power: 10 dBm single supply Voltage: +3.5V @ 45mA output ip3: +18 dBm 50 ohm matched input/output 24 lead 4x4 mm smT package: 16mm² 7 Amplifiers - low Noise - smT Typical Applications This HmC963lC4 is ideal for: • point-to-point radios • point-to-multi-point radios • military & space • Test instrumentation Functional Diagram General Description The HmC963lC4 is a self-biased GaAs mmiC low Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic surface mount package. The amplifier operates between 6 and 26.5 GHz, providing 20 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and output ip3 of +18 dBm, while requiring only 45 mA from a +3.5 V supply. The p1dB output power of +10 dBm enables the lNA to function as a lo driver for balanced, i/Q or image reject mixers. The HmC963lC4 also features i/os that are DC blocked and internally matched to 50 ohms, making it ideal for high capacity microwave radios and VsAT applications.
