The HMC6981 is a four-stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC Power Amplifier with an integrated temperature compensated on-chip Power Detector, which operates between 15 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 26 dB of gain, +34.5 dBm of saturated output power, and 25% PAE from a +6V supply. With an excellent output IP3 of +43.5 dBm, the HMC6981 is ideal for linear applications such as high capacity point-to-point or point-to-multi-point radios or SATCOM applications demanding +34.5 dBm of efficient saturated output power. The HMC6981 is housed in a ceramic 6 x 6 mm high frequency air cavity package which exhibits low thermal resistance and is compatible with high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques. The RF I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms.ApplicationsPoint-to-Point RadiosPoint-to-Multi-Point RadiosSATCOM
