0.01 GHz to 10 GHz, GaAs, pHEMT, MMIC, Low Noise Amplifier

The HMC8410CHIPS is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), low noise, wideband amplifier that operates over a 0.01 GHz to 10 GHz frequency range. The HMC8410CHIPS provides a typical gain of 19.5 dB, a 1.1 dB typical noise figure, and a typical output IP3 of 33 dBm, requiring only 65 mA from a 5 V supply voltage. The saturated output power (PSAT) of 22.5 dBm enables the low noise amplifier (LNA) to function as a local oscillator (LO) driver for many of Analog Devices, Inc., balanced, I/Q or image rejection mixers.

The HMC8410CHIPS also features inputs/outputs internally matched to 50 Ω, making the device ideal for surface mounted technology (SMT)-based, high capacity microwave radio applications.
