HMC463LH250
GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE
AGC AMPLIFIER, 2 - 20 GHz
v04.1010
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC463LH250 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low
Noise AGC Distributed Ampli er packaged in a
hermetic surface mount package which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The ampli er provides 13
dB of gain, 3 dB noise gure and 18 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring only
60 mA from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias
(Vgg2) is provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control
(AGC) of 8 dB typical. Gain atness is excellent at
±0.5 dB from 2 - 14 GHz making the HMC463LH250
ideal for EW, ECM RADAR, test equipment and
High-Reliability applications. The HMC463LH250
LNA I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally DC blocked.
