SURFACE MOUNT PHEMT 1 WATT

POWER AMPLIFIER, 12 - 16 GHz

v01.0705

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC489LP5 & HMC489LP5E are high dynamic

range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Power Amplifiers housed

in leadless 5 x 5 mm surface mount packages.

Operating from 12 to 16 GHz, the amplifier provides

13 dB of gain, +32 dBm of saturated power and

16% PAE from a +7V supply voltage. Output IP3 is

+34 dBm typical. The RF I/Os are DC blocked

and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use. The

HMC489LP5(E)eliminate the need for wire bonding,

allowing

use

of

techniques.

Saturated Power: +32 dBm @ 16% PAE

Output IP3: +34 dBm

Gain: 13 dB

+7V @ 1300 mA Supply

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

Typical Applications

The HMC489LP5 / HMC489LP5E is ideal for use as

a power amplifier for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios

• Test Equipment and Sensors

• Military End-Use
