General Description
The HMC442LM1 is a broadband 17.5 to 24 GHz
GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier in a
SMT leadless chip carrier package. The LM1 is a true
surface mount broadband millimeterwave package
offering low loss & excellent I/O match, preserving
MMIC chip performance. The amplifier provides
14 dB of gain and +23 dBm of saturated power at
27% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. This 50 Ohm
matched amplifier has integrated DC blocks on RF
in and out and makes an ideal linear gain block,
transmit chain driver or LO driver for HMC SMT mixers.
As an alternative to chip-and-wire hybrid assem-
blies the HMC442LM1 eliminates the need for
wirebonding, thereby providing a consistent con-
nection interface for the customer.
