General Description

The HmC594 is a GaAs pHemT mmiC low Noise Ampliier (lNA) chip which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The HmC594 features extremely lat performance characteristics including 10 dB of small signal gain, 2.6 dB of noise igure and output ip3 of +36 dBm across the operating band. This versatile lNA is ideal for hybrid and mCm assemblies due to its compact size, consistent output power and DC blocked rf i/o’s. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 ohm test ixture connected via one 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwire of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
