LNAs cover 5 to 18 GHz

23 June 2010 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The HMC902 and HMC903 are rated from 5 to 10 GHz and 6 to 18 GHz, respectively. These high linearity LNAs deliver up to 20 dB gain and +28 dBm output IP3, with noise figure as low as 1,6 dB. The ICs occupy less than 1,5 mm², feature DC blocked RF I/Os, and are internally matched to 50 Ω, making them suitable for integration into multichip-modules (MCMs) and microwave integrated circuits (MICs).

The HMC902LP3E and HMC903LP3E are SMT packaged LNAs which are rated from 5 to 10 GHz and 6 to 17 GHz, respectively. They deliver up to 19 dB gain and +28 dBm output IP3, with noise figure as low as 1,7 dB. The ICs are internally matched to 50 Ω, are housed in RoHS compliant 3 x 3 mm plastic packages and feature DC blocked RF I/Os.

All four devices exhibit excellent input and output return losses and deliver output P1dB of up to +16 dBm, making them suitable for high dynamic range receiver applications and for driving the LO port of many of Hittite’s high-level balanced, I/Q and image reject mixers. All four of these self-biased LNAs operate from a single +3,5 V supply consuming between 80 and 90 mA. In addition, they all accept an optional negative gate supply voltage, allowing the designer to tailor the output compression point and DC power consumption of the LNA for each application.
