The HMC609 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip which operates from 2 to 4 GHz. The HMC609 features extremely flat performance characteristics including 20 dB of small signal gain, 3.0 dB of noise figure and output IP3 of +36 dBm across the operating band. This versatile LNA is ideal for hybrid and MCM assemblies due to its compact size, consistent output power and DC blocked RF I/ O's. All data is measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mil).
