The HMC283LM1 is a Medium Power Amplifier (MPA) in a SMT leadless chip carrier package covering 17 to 40 GHz. The LM1 is a true surface mount broadband millimeterwave package offering low loss & excellent I/ O match preserving MMIC chip performance. Utilizing a GaAs PHEMT process, the device offers 20 dB gain and +21 dBm ouput power from a bias supply of +3.5V @ 300mA. As an alternative to chip-and-wire hybrid assemblies the HMC283LM1 eliminates the need for wirebonding, thereby providing a consistent connection interface for the customer. The amplifier may be used as a frequency doubler. A built-in-test pad (Vdet) allows monitoring of microwave output power. All data is with the non-hermetic, epoxy sealed LM1 packaged MPA device mounted in a 50 ohm test fixture.
