General Description
The HMC952 is a four stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC
2 Watt Power Amplifier with Power Detector which
operates between 9 and 14 GHz. The HMC952
provides 36 dB of gain, +35 dBm of saturated output
power, and 28% PAE from a +6V power supply. The
HMC952 exhibits excellent linearity and is optimized
for high capacity Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multi-
Point Radio systems. The amplifier configuration and
high gain make it an excellent candidate for last stage
signal amplification before the antenna. All data is
taken with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected
via (2) 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.31
mm (12 mil) length.
