GENERAL DESCRIPTION The HMC7950 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic is self biased with only a single positive supply needed to high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), monolithic microwave achieve a drain current, I , of 64 mA. The HMC7950 also has a DD integrated circuit (MMIC). The HMC7950 is a wideband low gain control option, V 2. The HMC7950 amplifier input/outputs GG noise amplifier that operates between 2 GHz and 28 GHz. The are internally matched to 50 and dc blocked. It comes in a amplifier typically provides 15 dB of gain, 2.0 dB of noise figure, 6 mm 6 mm, 16-terminal LCC SMT ceramic package that is 26 dBm of output IP3, and 16 dBm of output power for 1 dB gain easy to handle and assemble. compression, requiring 64 mA from a 5 V supply.
