General Description
The HMC261LM1 is a GaAs MMIC distributed
amplifier in a SMT leadless chip carrier package
covering 20 to 32 GHz. The LM1 is a true
surface mount broadband millimeterwave package offering low loss & excellent I/O match,
preserving MMIC chip performance. Utilizing a
GaAs PHEMT process the device offers 13 dB
gain and +14 dBm saturated output power from
a bias supply of +4V @ 75 mA. The packaged
amplifier enables economical PCB SMT assembly for millimeterwave point-to-point radios,
LMDS, and SATCOM applications. As an alternative to chip-and-wire hybrid assemblies the
HMC261LM1 eliminates the need for
wirebonding, thereby providing a consistent
connection interface for the customer. All data is
with the non-hermetic, epoxy sealed LM1 packaged LNA device mounted in a 50 ohm test
fixture. This part replaces the HMC261CB1 by
offering more bandwidth and gain.
Guaranteed Performance, Vdd = +4V, -55 to +85 deg C
