HMC263LP4E

GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE

AMPLIFIER, 24 - 36 GHz

v01.0709

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC263LP4E is a GaAs MMIC

Low Noise

Amplifier (LNA) which covers the frequency range

of 24 to 36 GHz and is housed in a leadless plastic

SMT package. The HMC263LP4E utilizes a GaAs

PHEMT process offering 20 dB gain from a single

bias supply of + 3V @ 58 mA with a noise figure of

2.2 dB. The HMC263LP4E may be used in conjunc-

tion with HMC264LC3B or HMC265LM3 mixers to

realize a millimeterwave system receiver. The RF I/Os

are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms requiring no

external components.

Low Noise Figure: 2.2 dB

High Gain: 20 dB

Single Positive Supply: +3V or +5V

DC Blocked RF I/Os

No External Matching

24 Lead 4x4mm QFN Package: 16mm2

Typical Applications

The HMC263LP4E is ideal for:

• Millimeterwave Point-to-Point Radios

• LMDS

• VSAT

• SATCOM
