HMC962LC4 v02.0614 GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 7.5 - 26.5 GHz Typical Applications Features This HmC962l C4 is ideal for: l ow Noise f igure: 2.5 dB Point-to-Point Radios Gain: 13 dB Point-to-Multi-Point Radios p1dB o utput power: 13 dBm Military & Space s ingle s upply Voltage: +3.5V 70mA Test Instrumentation o utput ip3: +23 dBm 50 o hm matched input/o utput 24 l ead 4x4 mm s mT package: 16mm General Description Functional Diagram The HmC962l C4 is a self-biased GaAs mmiC l ow Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic surface mount package. The amplifier operates between 7.5 and 26.5 GHz, providing 13 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and output ip3 of +23 dBm, while requiring only 70 mA from a +3.5 V supply. The p1dB output power of +13 dBm enables the l NA to function as a lo driver for balanced, i/Q or image reject mixers. The HmC962l C4 also fe- atures i/o s that are DC blocked and internally mat- ched to 50 o hms, making it ideal for high capacity microwave radios and Vs AT applications.
