General Description

The HMC565 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip which operates from 6 to 20 GHz. The HMC565 features 22 dB of small signal gain, 2.3 dB of noise figure and has a consistent IP3 of 20 dBm across the operating band. This selfbiased LNA is ideal for hybrid and MCM assemblies due to its compact size, wideband performance, single +3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/O’s. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
