Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC594LC3B is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise
Amplifier (LNA) which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The
HMC594LC3B features extremely flat performance
characteristics including 10 dB of small signal gain,
3.0 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of +36 dBm
across the operating band. This high linearity LNA is
ideal for test & measurement equipment and military
assemblies due to its compact size, consistent output
power and DC blocked RF I/O鈥檚. The HMC594LC3B is
also available in chip form as the HMC594.
