HMC341

GaAs MMIC LOW NOISE

AMPLIFIER, 24 - 30 GHz

v01.1007

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC341 chip is a GaAs MMIC

Low Noise

Amplifier (LNA) which covers the frequency range

of 24 to 30 GHz. The chip can easily be integrated

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

(1.51 mm2) size. The chip utilizes a GaAs PHEMT

process offering 13 dB gain from a single bias supply

of + 3V @ 30 mA with a noise figure of 2.5 dB. 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).

Excellent Noise Figure: 2.5 dB

Gain: 13 dB

Single Supply: +3V @ 30 mA

Small Size: 1.42 x 1.06 x 0.1 mm

Electrical Specifications

Typical Applications
