HMC463LP5

GaAs PHEMT MMIC LOW NOISE

AGC AMPLIFIER, 2.0 - 20.0 GHz

v00.0404

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HMC463LP5 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low

Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier packaged in a

leadless 5 x 5 mm surface mount package which

operates between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier

provides 13 dB of gain, 3.0 dB noise figure and 18

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 8 dB typical.

Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.5 dB from 6 - 18

GHz making the HMC463LP5 ideal for EW, ECM

RADAR and test equipment applications. The

HMC463LP5 LNA I/Os are internally matched to

50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked.

Gain: 13 dB

Noise Figure: 2.8 dB @ 10 GHz

P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm @ 10 GHz

Supply Voltage: +5.0V @ 60 mA

50 Ohm Matched Input/Output

Typical Applications

The HMC463LP5 is ideal for:

• Telecom Infrastructure

• Microwave Radio & VSAT

• Test Instrumentation

• Fiber Optics
