General Description
The HMC564 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip which operates from 7 to 13.5 GHz. The HMC564 features extremely flat performance characteristics including 17 dB of small signal gain, 1.8 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of 24 dBm across the operating band. This selfbiased LNA is ideal for hybrid and MCM assemblies due to its compact size, consistent output power, single +3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/O’s. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
