HMC963LC4 v02.0614 GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 6 - 26.5 GHz Typical Applications Features This HMC963LC4 is ideal for: Low Noise Figure: 2.5 dB Point-to-Point Radios High Gain: 22 dB Point-to-Multi-Point Radios P1dB Output Power: 10 dBm Military & Space Single Supply Voltage: +3.5V 45mA Test Instrumentation Output IP3: +18 dBm 50 Ohm matched Input/Output 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16mm General Description Functional Diagram The HMC963LC4 is a self-biased GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic surface mount package. The amplifier operates between 6 and 26.5 GHz, providing 20 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and output IP3 of +18 dBm, while requiring only 45 mA from a +3.5 V supply. The P1dB output power of +10 dBm enables the LNA to function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC963LC4 also fe- atures I/Os that are DC blocked and internally mat- ched to 50 Ohms, making it ideal for high capacity microwave radios and VSAT applications.
