Low Noise Amplifier Chip, 24 - 36 GHz

The HMC263 chip is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which covers the frequency range of 24 to 36 GHz. The chip can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) due to its small (3.29 mm²) size. The chip utilizes a GaAs PHEMT process offering 22 dB gain from a single bias supply of +3V @ 58 mA with a noise figure of 2 dB. All data is with the chip in a 50 ohm test fixture connected via 0.076 mm (3 mil) diameter ribbon bonds of minimal length 0.31 mm (<12 mils). The HMC263 may be used in conjunction with HMC264 or HMC265 mixers to realize a millimeterwave system receiver.
