General Description
The HMC308 is a low cost MESFET MMIC ampli-
fier that operates from a single +3 to +5V supply
from 0.8 to 3.8 GHz. The surface mount SOT26
amplifier can be used as a broadband amplifier
stage or used with external matching for optimized
narrow band applications. With Vdd biased at +5V,
the HMC308 offers 18 dB of gain and +20 dBm of
saturated output power while requiring only 53 mA
of current. This amplifier is ideal as a driver amplifier
for transmitters or for use as a local oscillator (LO)
amplifier to increase drive levels for passive mixers.
The amplifier occupies 0.014 in² (9 mm²), making it
ideal for compact radio designs.
