GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC7543 is an integrated E-band gallium arsenide
(GaAs), pseudomorphic (pHEMT), monolithic microwave
integrated circuit (MMIC), medium power amplifier with a
temperature compensated on-chip power detector that operates
from 71 GHz to 76 GHz. The HMC7543 provides 21.5 dB of
gain, 25 dBm of output power at 1 dB compression, and 26.5 dBm
of saturated output power at 20% power added efficiency (PAE)
from a 4 V power supply. The HMC7543 exhibits excellent
linearity and is optimized for E-band communications and high
capacity wireless backhaul radio systems. The amplifier configura-
tion and high gain make it an excellent candidate for last stage
signal amplification before the antenna. All data is taken with
the chip in a 50 Ω test fixture connected via a 3 mil wide × 0.5 mil
thick × 7 mil long ribbon on each port.
