Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC441LP3 is a broadband GaAs PHEMT
MMIC Medium Power Amplifier which operates
between 6.5 and 13.5 GHz. The leadless plastic
QFN surface mount packaged amplifier provides
14 dB of gain, +20 dBm saturated power at 20%
PAE from a +5.0 V supply voltage. An optional
gate bias is provided to allow adjustment of gain,
RF output power, and DC power dissipation. This
50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any
external components making it an ideal linear
gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers.
