7 GHz to 32 GHz microwave amplifiers deliver up to 2 W
Feb 22, 2005 1:30 PM 

Hittite Microwave has introduced four high-dynamic-range, 1 W and 2 W, MMIC power amplifiers, covering 7 GHz to 32 GHz, for point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and test equipment applications.

The HMC486LP5, HMC487LP5 and HMC489LP5 are GaAs MMIC power amplifiers, which operate from 7 GHz to 16 GHz, deliver up to +33 dBm of saturated output power at 20% PAE and +40 dBm output IP3. All three amplifiers are packaged in leadless 5 x 5 mm QFN surface-mount packages and share identical pin assignments. The amplifiers operate from a +7 V supply and offer fully matched 50 Ohm RF ports with internal dc blocking capacitors.

The HMC499LC4 is a high-dynamic-range, medium-power amplifier housed in a lead-free, 4 x 4 mm, leadless QFN SMT package. This amplifier operates from 21 GHz to 32 GHz and delivers 15 dB gain, +24 dBm saturated output power, and +33 dBm output IP3. The HMC499LC4 operates from a +5 V supply and offers fully-matched (50 Ohm) RF ports with internal dc blocking capacitors.

These SMT packaged amplifiers lend themselves to mounting on microwave radio and VSAT system PC boards. They are available from stock and may be ordered online.
