25 Watt GaN MMIC Power Amplifier, 2 GHz to 6 GHz

The HMC1086 is a 25W Gallium Nitride (GaN) Power Amplifier MMIC which operates between 2 and 6 GHz. The amplifier typically provides 22 dB of small signal gain, +44.5 dBm of saturated output power, and +48 dBm output IP3 at +33 dBm output power per tone. The HMC1086 draws 1100 mA quiescent current from a +28V DC supply. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCM). All electrical performance data was acquired with die eutectically attached to 1.02 mm (40 mil) thick CuMo carrier with multiple 1.0 mil diameter ball bonds connecting the die to 50 Ohm transmission lines on alumina.
