New from Hittite are two 2 Watt GaAs pHEMT MMIC power amplifiers (PAs) which cover the 9 to 14 GHz frequency range and are ideal for microwave radio, military and space, SATCOM and test and measurement applications.
The HMC952 and the HMC952LP5GE are four-stage PAs with temperature-compensated on-chip power detectors which operate between 9 and 14 GHz. They provide 33 dB of gain, +35 dBm of saturated output power and 27% PAE (power added efficiency) from a +6 V supply.
With up to +43 dBm output IP3, the HMC952LP5GE is ideal for high-linearity applications in military and space, as well as high-capacity point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radios.
The amplifiers also feature I/Os that are internally matched to 50 Ω and require no external matching components, which makes them ideal for use as drivers, or as the final power stage in a microwave transmitter chain.
The HMC952 die may be easily incorporated into MCMs, while the HMC952LP5GE leadless QFN 5 x 5 mm surface mount packaged version is compatible with high-volume assembly equipment.
