Low Noise Amplifier Chip, 7 - 17 GHz

The HMC516 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which covers the 7 to 17 GHz frequency range. The HMC516 provides 20 dB of small signal gain, 1.8 dB of noise figure and has an output IP3 greater than +20 dBm. The chip can easily be integrated into hybrid or MCM assemblies due to its small size. All data is tested with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.075mm (3 mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil). Two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires may also be used to make the RFIN and RFOUT connections.
