General Description
The HMC320MS8G is a low cost C-band fixed
gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that serves the
full UNII and HiperLAN bands. The
HMC320MS8G operates using a single positive
supply that can be set between +3V and +5V.
With +3V bias, the LNA provides a noise figure
of 2.5 dB, 12 dB gain and better than 10 dB return
loss across the UNII band. The HMC320MS8G
also features adaptive biasing that allows the
user to select the optimal P1dB performance for
their system using an external set resistor on the
“RES” pin. P1dB performance can be set between a range of +1 dBm to +13 dBm. The low
cost LNA uses an 8-leaded MSOP ground base
surface mount plastic package, which occupies
less than 14.8mm
