The HMC261 chip is a GaAs MMIC distributed

amplifier which covers the frequency range of 20

to 40 GHz. The chip can easily be integrated into

Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) due to its small (2.21

cess, operating from a single bias supply of + 3 to

+4V with a P1dB output power of +12 dBm. All data

is with the chip in a 50 ohm test fixture connected

via 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal

length 0.31 mm (<12 mils). The HMC261 may be

used to drive the LOs of HMC mixers such as the

HMC203, HMC292, HMC294, or HMC329.

The HMC261 is ideal for:

• MMW Point-to-Point Radios

• LMDS

• VSAT

• SATCOM
