The HMC902 is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic (pHEMT) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), low noise amplifier (LNA), which is self biased with optional bias control for IDQreduction. The HMC902 operates between 5 GHz and 11 GHz. This LNA provides 20 dB of small signal gain, 1.6 dB noise figure, and output IP3 of 28 dBm, requiring only 80 mA from a 3.5 V supply. The P1dB output power of 16 dBm enables the LNA to function as a local oscillator (LO) driver for balanced, I/Q, or image rejection mixers. The HMC902 also features inputs/outputs that are matched to 50 Ω for ease of integration into multichip modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the HMC902 in a 50 Ω test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of 0.31 mm (12 mil) length.ApplicationsPoint to point radiosPoint to multipoint radiosMilitary and spaceTest instrumentationIndustrial scientific and medical (ISM) radio bandUnlicensed national information infrastructure (UNII)Wireless communication service (WCS)
