The HMC616LP3(E) is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC

Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and

LTE/WiMAX/4G

basestation

front-end

receivers

operating between 175 and 660 MHz. The amplifier

has been optimized to provide 0.5 dB noise figure,

24 dB gain and +37 dBm output IP3 from a single

supply of +5V. Input and output return losses are

excellent with minimal external matching and bias

decoupling components. The HMC616LP3(E) shares

the same package and pinout with the HMC617-

LP3(E) and HMC618LP3(E) LNAs. The HMC616LP3(E)

can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an

externally adjustable supply current which allows the

designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA

for each application.
