81 GHz to 86 GHz, E-Band Variable Gain Amplifier Data Sheet HMC8121 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Gain: 22 dB typical The HMC8121 is an integrated E-band, gallium arsenide (GaAs), Wide gain control range: 17 dB typical pseudomorphic (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated Output third-order intercept (OIP3): 27.5 dBm typical circuit (MMIC), variable gain amplifier and/or driver amplifier Output power for 1 dB compression (P1dB): 20 dBm typical that operates from 81 GHz to 86 GHz. The HMC8121 provides up Saturated output power (P ): 21 dBm typical SAT to 22 dB of gain, 20 dBm output P1dB, 27.5 dBm of OIP3, and DC supply: 4 V at 265 mA 21 dBm of PSAT while requiring only 265 mA from a 4 V power No external matching required supply. Two gain control voltages (V and V ) are provided CTL1 CTL2 Die size: 3.599 mm 1.369 mm 0.05 mm to allow up to 17 dB of variable gain control. The HMC8121 exhibits excellent linearity and is optimized for E-band APPLICATIONS communications and high capacity wireless backhaul radio E-band communication systems systems. All data is taken with the chip in a 50 test fixture High capacity wireless backhaul radio systems connected via a 3 mil wide 0.5 mil thick 7 mil long ribbon Test and measurement on each port.
