HMC517LC4
v03.0514
SMT PHEMT LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER, 17 - 26 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC517LC4 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs
pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplier (LNA) housed in
a leadless “Pb free” RoHS compliant SMT package.
The HMC517LC4 provides 19 dB of small signal gain,
2.5 dB of noise gure and has an output IP3 of
+23 dBm. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables
the LNA to also function as a LO driver for balanced,
I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC517LC4 allows
the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
