HMC609 v03.0210 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 2 - 4 GHz 1 Typical Applications Features The HMC609 is ideal for: Excellent Gain Flatness: 0.2 dB Fixed Microwave High Gain: 20.5 dB Point-to-Multi-Point Radios Low Noise Figure: 3 dB Test & Measurement Equipment Output IP3: +36 dBm Radar & Sensors Output P1dB: +22 dBm Military & Space 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Die Size: 2.1 x 1.3 x 0.1 mm Functional Diagram General Description The HMC609 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Ampl ifier (LNA) chip which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The HMC609 features extremely fl at performance characteristics including 20 dB of small signal gain, 3.0 dB of noise fi gure and output IP3 of +36 dBm across the operating band. This versatile LNA is ideal for hybrid and MCM assemblies due to its compact size, consistent output power and DC blocked RF I/ Os. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
