HMC594 v01.0312 GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 2 - 4 GHz Typical Applications Features The HmC594 is ideal for: Gain f latness: 0.2 dB Fixed Microwave Noise f igure: 2.6 dB Point-to-Multi-Point Radios Gain: 10 dB Test & Measurement Equipment oi p3: +36 dBm Radar & Sensors DC s upply: +6V 100 mA Military & Space 50 o hm matched input/o utput Die s ize: 1.32 x 1.21 x 0.10 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HmC594 is a GaAs pHemT mmiC l ow Noise Amplifier ( l NA) chip which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The HmC594 features extremely flat performance characteristics including 10 dB of small signal gain, 2.6 dB of noise figure and output ip3 of +36 dBm across the operating band. This versatile l NA is ideal for hybrid and mCm assemblies due to its compact size, consistent output power and DC blocked rf i/o s. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 o hm test fixture connected via one 0.025 mm (1 mil) dia- meter bondwire of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
