HMC609LC4
v03.0514
GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE
AMPLIFIER, 2 - 4 GHz
Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC609LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise
Amplier (LNA) which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The
HMC609LC4 features extremely at performance
characteristics including 20 dB of small signal gain, 3.5
dB of noise gure and output IP3 of +36.5 dBm across
the operating band. This 50 Ohm matched amplier
does not require any external matching components.
The HMC609LC4 is compatible with high volume
surface mount manufacturing techniques, and the RF
I/Os are DC blocked for further ease of integration.
Features
Excellent Gain Flatness: ±0.4 dB
High Gain: 20 dB
