STABLE GAIN vs. TEMPERATURE: 26dB ± 1.2dB
General Description
The HMC282 chip is a four stage GaAs MMIC
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which covers the
frequency range of 36 to 40 GHz. The chip can
easily be integrated into Multi-Chip Modules
SMALL SIZE: 1.11 mm x 2.07 mm
(MCMs) due to its small (2.30 mm
chip utilizes a GaAs PHEMT process offering 26

dB gain from a bias supply of +3.5V @ 90 mA with
a noise figure of 3.5 dB. This LNA can be used in
millimeterwave point-to-point radios, VSAT, and
other SATCOM applications. All data is with the
chip in a 50 ohm test fixture connected via ribbon
DIE
bonds of minimal length. The HMC282 may be
used in conjunction with the HMC259 mixer to
realize a millimeterwave system receiver.
