Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC564 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT
MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip which operates
from 7 to 13.5 GHz. The HMC564 features extremely
flat performance characteristics including 17 dB of
small signal gain, 1.8 dB of noise figure and output
IP3 of 24 dBm across the operating band. This self-
biased LNA is ideal for hybrid and MCM assemblies
due to its compact size, consistent output power,
single +3V supply operation, 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).
