HMC863LP4E

v01.1110

General Description

Features

Functional Diagram

The HmC863lp4e is a three stage GaAs pHemT

mmiC ½ watt power Amplifier which operates be-

tween 22 and 26.5 GHz. The HmC863lp4e provides

21.5 dB of gain, +27.5 dBm of saturated output pow-

er and 15% pAe from a +6V supply. High output ip3

makes the HmC863lp4e ideal for point-to-point and

point-to-multi-point radio systems as well as VsAT ap-

plications. The rf i/os are DC blocked and matched

to 50 ohms for ease of integration into higher level

assemblies. The HmC863lp4e can also be operated

from a 5V supply with only a slight decrease in output

power & ip3.

saturated output power:

up to +27.5 dBm @ 15% pAe

High output ip3: +33 dBm

High Gain: 21.5 dB

DC supply: +6V @ 350mA

no external matching required

24 lead 4x4 mm smT package: 16 mm²
