The HMC451LC3 is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package. Operating between 5 and 20 GHz, the amplifier provides 19 dB of gain, +21 dBm of saturated power and 21% PAE from a single +5.0V supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components and the RF I/O’s are DC blocked, making it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers. The HMC451LC3 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
