HMC463

The HMC463 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise AGC Distributed Amplifi er die which operates between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifi er provides 14 dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise fi gure 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 fl atness is excellent at ±0.15 dB from 6 - 18 GHz making the HMC463 ideal for EW, ECM and RADAR applications. The HMC463 amplifi er 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 fi xture connected via 0.025mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm (12 mils).
