The HMC320MS8G is a low cost C-band fixed gain Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) that serves the full UNII and HiperLAN bands. The HMC320MS8G operates using a single positive supply that can be set between +3V and +5V. With +3V bias, the LNA provides a noise figure of 2.5 dB, 12 dB gain and better than 10 dB return loss across the UNII band. The HMC320MS8G also features adaptive biasing that allows the user to select the optimal P1dB performance for their system using an external set resistor on the "RES" pin. P1dB performance can be set between a range of +1 dBm to +13 dBm. The low cost LNA uses an 8-leaded MSOP ground base surface mount plastic package, which occupies less than 14.8mm2.
