General Description
The HMC442LM1 is a broadband 17.5 to 24 GHz
GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Ampli鏗乪r in
a SMT leadless chip carrier package. The LM1 is
a true surface mount broadband millimeterwave
package offering low loss & excellent I/O match,
preserving MMIC chip performance. The ampli鏗乪r
provides 14 dB of gain and +23 dBm of saturated
power at 27% PAE from a +5.0V supply voltage.
This 50 Ohm matched ampli鏗乪r has integrated
DC blocks on RF in and out and makes an ideal
linear gain block, transmit chain driver or LO driver
for HMC SMT mixers. As an alternative to chip-
and-wire hybrid assemblies the HMC442LM1
eliminates the need for wirebonding, thereby
providing a consistent connection interface for
the customer.
