GaAs PHEMT MMIC
POWER AMPLIFIER, DC - 15 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
Typical Applications
The HMC659LC5 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT
Distributed Power Amplier which is housed in a
leadless 5 x 5 mm RoHS compliant ceramic SMT
package operating between DC and 15 GHz. The
amplier provides 19 dB of gain, +35 dBm output IP3
and +27.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression, while requiring 300mA from a +8V
supply. Gain atness is excellent at ±1.4 dB from
DC - 15 GHz making the HMC659LC5 ideal for EW,
ECM, Radar and test equipment applications. The
HMC659LC5 amplier I/Os are internally matched
to 50 Ohms with no external components. The
HMC659LC5 is compatible with high volume surface
mount manufacturing techniques.
