General Description
The HMC463 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
AGC Distributed Amplifier die which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 14
dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure and 19 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring only
60 mA from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias
(Vgg2) is provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control
(AGC) of 10 dB typical. Gain flatness is excellent
at ±0.15 dB from 6 - 18 GHz making the HMC463
ideal for EW, ECM and RADAR applications. The
HMC463 amplifier can easily be integrated into
Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs) due to its small size.
All data is with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture con-
nected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of
minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
