General Description
The HMC408LP3 is a 5.1 - 5.9 GHz high effi-
ciency GaAs InGaP Heterojunction Bipolar Tran-
sistor (HBT) Power Amplifier MMIC which offers
+30 dBm P1dB. The amplifier provides 20 dB of
gain, +32.5 dBm of saturated power, and 27%
PAE from a +5.0V supply voltage. The input is
internally matched to 50 Ohms while the output
requires a minimum of external components.
Vpd can be used for full power down or RF output
power/current control. The amplifier is packaged
in a low cost, 3x3 mm leadless surface mount
package with an exposed base for improved RF
and thermal performance.
