HMC498

v00.0903 MICROWAVE CORPORATION HMC498 GaAs PHEMT MMIC POWER AMPLIFIER, 17 - 24 GHz Features +34 dBm Output IP3 Saturated Power: +27 dBm @ 25% PAE Gain: 24 dB Supply Voltage: +5.0 V 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output 2.38 mm x 1.46 mm x 0.1 mm 1 AMPLIFIERS - CHIP Typical Applications The HMC498 is ideal for use as a power amplifier for: Point-to-Point Radios Point-to-Multi-Point Radios VSAT Military & Space Functional Diagram General Description The HMC498 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Power Amplifier which operates between 17 and 24 GHz. The HMC498 provides 24 dB of gain, +27 dBm of saturated power and 25% PAE from a +5.0 V supply voltage. The HMC498 amplifier can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due to its small size. All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
