General Description
The HMC999 is a GaN HEMT MMIC Distributed
Power Amplifier which operates between 0.01 and 10
GHz. The amplifier provides 11 dB of gain, 47 dBm
output IP3 and 38 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression while requiring 1100 mA from a +48 V
supply. The HMC999 amplifier provides 10 Watts of
saturated power in a chip area only 7 mm², equating
to a power density of 1.5 W/mm² over 3 decades of
bandwidth. All data is taken with the chip connected
via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) wire bonds of minimal length
0.31 mm (12 mils).
