General Description
The HMC566 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifi er (LNA) chip which operates from 29 to 36 GHz. The HMC566 provides 20 dB of small signal gain, 2.8 dB of noise fi gure and output IP3 of 23.5 dBm across the operating band. This selfbiased LNA is ideal for hybrid and MCM assemblies due to its compact size, slightly positive gain slope, single +3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/O’s. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
