1 Watt Power Amplifier Chip, 37 - 40 GHz

The HMC968 is a 4 stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC 1 Watt Power Amplifier which operates between 37 and 40 GHz. The HMC968 provides 21 dB of gain, +32 dBm of saturated output power, and 15% PAE from a +6V supply. With a very good IP 3 performance of +38 dBm, the HMC968 is ideal for linear applications including point-to-point and point-to-multi-point radios. All data is taken with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via (2) 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.31 mm (12 mil) length.
