Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC593LP3(E) is a versatile, high dynamic
range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that
integrates a low loss LNA bypass mode on the IC.
The amplifier is ideal for WiBro & WiMAX receivers
operating between 3.3 and 3.8 GHz and provides
1.2 dB noise figure, 19 dB of gain and +29 dBm IP3
from a single supply of +5V @ 40mA. Input and output
return losses are 23 and 13 dB respectively with no
external matching components required. A single
control line (0/Vdd) is used to switch between LNA
mode and a low 2 dB loss bypass mode reducing the
current consumption to 10 μA.
