General Description

The HMC320MS8G & HMC320MS8GE are low cost C-band fi xed gain Low Noise Amplifi ers (LNA). The HMC320MS8G & HMC320MS8GE operate using a single positive supply that can be set between +3V and +5V. With +3V bias, the LNA provides a noise fi gure of 2.5 dB, 1 dB gain and better than 10 dB return loss across the UNII band. The HMC320MS8G & HMC320MS8GE also feature an adaptive baising that allows the user to select the optimal P1dB performance for their system using an external set resistor on the “RES” pin. P1dB performance can be set between a range of +1 dBm to +13 dBm. The low cost LNA uses an 8-leaded MSOP ground base surface mount plastic package, which occupies less than 14.8 mm2.
