General Description
The HMC903 is a self-biased GaAs MMIC Low
Noise Amplifier which operates between 6 and 18
GHz. This LNA provides 19 dB of small signal gain,
1.6 dB noise figure, and output IP3 of 27 dBm, while
requiring only 90 mA from a +3.5 V supply. The P1dB
output power of 16 dBm enables the LNA to function
as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject
mixers. The HMC903 also features I/Os that are DC
blocked and internally matched to 50 Ohms for ease
of integration into multi-chip-modules (MCMs). All
data is taken with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture
connected via 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter with bonds
of 0.31 mm (12 mils) length.
