General Description
The HMC442LC3B is an efficient GaAs PHEMT
MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a leadless
“Pb free” RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating
between 17.5 and 25.5 GHz, the amplifier provides 13
dB of gain, +23 dBm of saturated power and 26% PAE
from a +5.0 V supply voltage. This 50 Ohm matched
amplifier does not require any external components,
making it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC
SMT mixers. The HMC442LC3B allows the use of
surface mount manufacturing techniques.
