General Description

The HMC262 chip is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifi er (LNA) which covers the frequency range of 15 to 24 GHz. The chip can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) due to its small (2.75 mm2) size. The chip utilizes a GaAs PHEMT process offering 25 dB gain from a single bias supply of + 3V @ 36 mA with a noise figure of 2 dB. All data is with the chip in a 50 ohm test fi xture connected via 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31 mm (
