Typical Applications
This HMC-APH460 is ideal for:
• Point-to-Point Radios
• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios
• VSAT
• Military & Space
The HMC-APH460 is a two stage GaAs HEMT MMIC
0.5 Watt Power Ampli er which operates between
27 and 31.5 GHz. The HMC-APH460 provides
14 dB of gain, and an output power of +28 dBm at
1 dB compression from a +5V supply voltage. All
bond pads and the die backside are Ti/Au metallized
and the ampli er device is fully passivated for reliable
operation. The HMC-APH460 GaAs HEMT MMIC
0.5 Watt Power Ampli er is compatible with conven-
tional die attach methods, as well as thermo-
compression and thermosonic wirebonding, making
it ideal for MCM and hybrid microcircuit applications.
All data Shown herein is measured with the chip in a
50 Ohm environment and contacted with RF probes.
