Description
The HMMC-5023 MMIC is a highgain low-noise amplifier (LNA)
that operates from 21 GHz to over
30 GHz. By eliminating the
complex tuning and assembly
processes typically required by
hybrid (discrete-FET) amplifiers,
the HMMC-5023 is a cost-effective
alternative in 21.2 – 23.6 GHz and
24.5 – 26.5 GHz communications
receivers. The device has good
input and output match to
50␣ ohms and is unconditionally
stable to more than 40 GHz. The
backside of the chip is both RF
and DC ground. This helps
simplify the assembly process
and reduces assembly related
performance variations and costs.
It is fabricated using a PHEMT
integrated circuit structure that
provides exceptional noise and
gain performance.

2. Open circuit voltage at VG1 and VG2 when VD1 and VD2 are 5 volts.
3. Thermal resistance (in °C/Watt) at a channel temperature T (°C) can be estimated using this equation:
θ(T) @ 75 x [T(°C)+ 273] / [150°C+ 273].
