Hittite announced the release of two new amplifier and three new mixer products for microwave and millimetre-wave radios, military sensors, test and measurement equipment and SatCom applications from 24 to 46,5 GHz.
The HMC1040LP3CE is a self-biased GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier (LNA) which operates between 24 and 43,5 GHz and delivers 23 dB gain, 2,2 dB noise figure and output IP3 up to +22 dBm. It consumes only 70 mA from a +2,5 V supply while the output P1dB rating of +12 dBm enables it to serve as a LO driver for many of Hittite’s balanced, I/Q and image reject mixers.
The device features I/Os that are DC blocked and internally matched to 50 Ω, and is ideal for high-capacity microwave radios and VSAT applications. It is housed in a 3 x 3 mm QFN plastic package.
The HMC1016 is a four-stage GaAs PHEMT MMIC medium power amplifier die which operates between 34 and 46,5 GHz. It provides 22 dB of gain, +26 dBm of saturated output power, and 17% PAE from a +6 V supply. With output IP3 as high as +37 dBm, the device is well suited for high-linearity applications in point-to-point radio, military and space. This compact wideband driver amplifier occupies less than 2 mm².
The HMC1041LC4 and HMC1042LC4 are compact I/Q MMIC mixers which cover RF frequencies from 17 to 27 GHz and from 15 to 33,5 GHz respectively. Each mixer utilises two double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid, and is fabricated in a GaAs MESFET process.
These highly integrated converters can be used as either image reject mixers or as single sideband up-converters with conversion losses as low as 9 dB. They are housed in footprint compatible 4 x 4 mm QFN packages and require no external components.
The HMC1043LC3 is a special purpose, triple balanced mixer which accepts 16 to 22 GHz at the IF port and 26 to 32 GHz at the RF port. It exhibits excellent LO/RF, LO/IF and 2 LO/IF isolation due to optimised balun structures, and requires no external components.
The HMC1043LC3 operates with LO drive levels as low as +9 dBm from 7 to 11 GHz, and is ideal for up-conversion and down-conversion in satellite transponder applications. It is housed in a compact 3 x 3 mm QFN package and requires no external matching components.
