Amplifiers - Linear & Power - Chip v03.0611 Typical Applications The HMC950 is ideal for: Point-to-Point Radios 3 Point-to-Multi-Point Radios VSAT & SATCOM Military & Space Functional Diagram HMC950 GaAs pHEMT MMIC 4 WATT POWER AMPLIFIER, 12 - 16 GHz Features Saturated Output Power: +37 dBm @ 23% PAE High Output IP3: +44.5 dBm High Gain: 28 dB DC Supply: +7V @ 2400 mA No External Matching Required Die Size: 3.23 x 3.45 x 0.1 mm General Description The HMC950 is a four stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC 4 Watt Power Amplifier which operates between 12 and 16 GHz. The HMC950 provides 28 dB of gain, +37 dBm of saturated output power, and 23% PAE from a +7V power supply. The HMC950 exhibits excellent linearity and is optimized for high capacity point to point and point to multi-point radio systems. It is also ideal for 13.75 to 14.5 GHz Ku Band VSAT transmitters as well as SATCOM applications. The amplifier configuration and high gain make it an excellent candidate for last stage signal amplification before the antenna. All data is taken with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via (2) 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.31 mm (12 mil) length. 3-1 Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C Vdd = Vdd1, Vdd2, Vdd3, Vdd4, Vdd5, Vdd6, Vdd7, Vdd8 = +7V, Idd = 2400 mA [1] Parameter Min.
