HMC594LC3B
v03.0514
GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER, 2 - 4 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC594LC3B is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low
Noise Amplier (LNA) which operates from 2 to 4
GHz. The HMC594LC3B features extremely at
performance characteristics including 10 dB of small
signal gain, 3 dB of noise gure and output IP3 of
+36 dBm across the operating band. This high linearity
LNA is ideal for test & measurement equipment
and military assemblies due to its compact size,
consistent output power and DC blocked RF I/O’s.
The HMC594LC3B is also available in chip form as
the HMC594.
Gain Flatness: ±0.2 dB
