HMC342LC4
GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 13 - 25 GHz
Features
Noise Figure: 3.5 dB Gain: 22 dB Single Positive Supply: +3V @ 43 mA 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output RoHS Compliant 4x4 mm SMT Package
General Description
The HMC342LC4 is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating from 13 to 25 GHz, the amplifier provides 22 dB of gain and +19 dBm of output IP3 from a single +3V supply. The low noise figure performance of 3.5 dB is ideal for receive and transmit pre-driver applications. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of use. The HMC342LC4 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques and requires no external matching components.
