HMC-ABH264
GaAs PHEMT MMIC MEDIUM
POWER AMPLIFIER, 34 - 42 GHz
v01.0209
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-ABH264 is a high dynamic range GaAs
PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplier which operates
between 34 and 42 GHz. The HMC-ABH264 provides
18.5 dB of gain, and an output power of 18 dBm at 1 dB
compression from a +5V supply. The HMC-ABH264
amplier can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-
Modules (MCMs) due to its small size. This compact
medium power amplier die delivers consistent output
power and excellent gain atness across its rated
bandwidth. All data is herein is measured with the
chip in a 50 Ohm test xture connected via 0.025mm
(1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm
(12 mils).
High Output IP3: 29 dBm
High P1dB: 18 dBm
High Gain: 18.5 dB
Bias Supply: +5V
