v11.0617 AMPLIFIERS -LOW NOISE -CHIP 1 GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE
AGC AMPLIFIER, 2 -20 GHz Typical Applications Features The HMC463 is ideal for: Gain: 14 dB • Telecom Infrastructure Noise Figure: 2.5 dB @ 10 GHz • Microwave Radio & VSAT P1dB Output Power: +19 dBm @ 10 GHz • Military & Space Supply Voltage: +5V @ 60 mA • Test Instrumentation 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output • Fiber Optics Die Size: 3.05 x 1.29 x 0.1 mm Functional Diagram General Description
The HMC463 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
AGC Distributed Amplifier die which operates between
2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 14 dB of gain,
2.5 dB noise figure and 19 dBm of output power at
1 dB gain compression while requiring only 60 mA
from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias (Vgg2) is
provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control (AGC) of
10 dB typical. Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.15 dB
from 6 -18 GHz making the HMC463 ideal for EW,
ECM and RADAR applications. The HMC463 amplifier can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules
(MCMs) due to its small size. All data is with the
chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm
(1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm
(12 mils). Vgg2: Optional Gate Bias for AGC Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vdd= 5V, Idd= 60 mA*
