The HMC906A is a four stage GaAs pHEM T MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifier which operates between 27.3 and 33.5 GHz. The HMC906A provides 26.5 dB of gain, and +33.5 dBm of saturated output power and 20% PAE from a +6V supply. The OIP 3 of 40 dBm at 28 dBm / tone provides excellent linearity for satellite communications. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms for ease of integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter wire bonds of length 0.31 mm (12 mils).
