Electrical Specifications

Typical Applications

This HmC962lC4 is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios

• Military & Space

• Test Instrumentation

The HmC962lC4 is a self-biased GaAs mmiC low

Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm ceramic

surface mount package. The amplifier operates

between 7.5 and 26.5 GHz, providing 13 dB of small

signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and output ip3 of

+23 dBm, while requiring only 70 mA from a +3.5 V

supply. The p1dB output power of +13 dBm enables

the lNA to function as a lo driver for balanced, i/Q

or image reject mixers. The HmC962lC4 also fe-

atures i/os that are DC blocked and internally mat-

ched to 50 ohms, making it ideal for high capacity

microwave radios and VsAT applications.
