GaAs pHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE

AGC AMPLIFIER, 2 - 20 GHz

v09.0717

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC463LP5(E) is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low

Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier packaged in a lead-

less 5x5 mm surface mount package which oper-

ates between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides

13 dB of gain, 2.8 dB noise figure and 18 dBm of out-

put power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring

only 60mA from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias

(Vgg2) is provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control

(AGC) of 8 dB typical. Gain flatness is excellent at

±0.5 dB from 6 - 18 GHz making the HMC463LP5(E)

ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment appli-

cations. The HMC463LP5(E) LNA I/Os are internally

matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked.

Gain: 13 dB

Noise Figure: 2.8 dB @ 10 GHz

P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm @ 10 GHz

Supply Voltage: +5V @ 60mA

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

32 Lead 5x5mm SMT Package: 25mm²

Typical Applications

The HMC463LP5(E) is ideal for:

• Telecom Infrastructure

• Microwave Radio & VSAT
