General Description
The HMC459 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distrib-
uted Power Amplifier die which operates between
DC and 18 GHz. The amplifier provides 17 dB
of gain, +31.5 dBm output IP3 and +25 dBm of
output power at 1 dB gain compression while
requiring 290 mA from a +8V supply. Gain flat-
ness is good making the HMC459 ideal for EW,
ECM and radar driver amplifier applications. The
HMC459 amplifier I/O’s are internally matched to
50 Ohms facilitating easy integration into Multi-
Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data is with the chip
in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm
(1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length
0.31mm (12 mils).
