Functional Diagram
General Description
The HmC995lp5Ge is a 4 stage GaAs pHemT mmiC 2 watt power Amplifier with an integrated temperature compensated on-chip power detector which operates between 12 and 16 GHz. The HmC995lp5Ge provides 27 dB of gain, 35.5 dBm of saturated output power, and 24% pAe from a +7V supply. The HmC995lp5Ge exhibits excellent linearity and is optimized for high capacity digital microwave radio. it is also ideal for 13.75 to 14.5 GHz Ku Band VsAT transmitters as well as sATCom applications. The HmC995lp5Ge 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.
