Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC566LP4E is a high dynamic range GaAs
pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) in a
4x4 mm SMT package which operates from 28 to
36 GHz. The HMC566LP4E provides 21 dB of small
signal gain, 2.8 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of
24 dBm. This self-biased LNA is ideal for hybrid and
MCM assemblies due to its compact size, single
+3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/O’s.
The RoHS packaged HMC566LP4E eliminates the
need for wirebonding and allows the use of high
volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.
The HMC566LP4E is also available in chip form as
the HMC566.
