The HMC498LC4 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier operating from 17 to 24GHz, the amplifier provides 22dB of gain, +26dBm of saturated power and 23% PAE from a +5V supply voltage. Noise figure is 4dB while output IP3 is +36dBm typical enabling the HMC498LC4 to function as a low noise front end as well as a driver amplifier. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50R for ease of use.
