HMC7950 2 GHz to 28 GHz, GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier
Product Details
The HMC7950 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). The HMC7950 is a wideband low noise amplifier that operates between 2 GHz and 28 GHz. The amplifier typically provides 15 dB of gain, 2.0 dB of noise figure, 26 dBm of output IP3, and 16 dBm of output power for 1 dB gain compression, requiring 64 mA from a 5 V supply. The HMC7950 is self biased with only a single positive supply needed to achieve a drain current, IDD, of 64 mA. The HMC7950 also has a gain control option, VGG2. The HMC7950 amplifier input/outputs are internally matched to 50 Ω and dc blocked. It comes in a 6 mm × 6 mm, 16-terminal LCC SMT ceramic package that is easy to handle and assemble.
