General Description
The HMC323 is a GaAs InGaP Heterojunction
Bipolar Transistor (HBT) MMIC amplifier that
operates from a single Vcc supply. The surface
mount SOT26 amplifier can be used as a broadband gain stage or used with external matching
for optimized narrow band applications. The
HMC323 offers 13 dB of gain and +19 dBm of
saturated power while only requiring 57 mA from
a 8.75V supply. Using a Darlington feedback
pair results in reduced sensitivity to normal
process variations and provides a good 50-ohm
input/output port match. This amplifier is ideal for
RF systems where high linearity is required
such as 2.2 - 2.7 GHz MMDS.
Guaranteed Perf ormance,
