General Description
SMT mmWAVE PACKAGE
The HMC268LM1 is a two stage GaAs MMIC Low
Noise Amplifier (LNA) in a SMT leadless chip
carrier package covering 20 to 32 GHz. The LM1
isatruesurfacemountbroadbandmillimeterwave
package offering low loss & excellent I/O match,
preserving MMIC chip performance. Utilizing a
GaAs PHEMT process the device offers 2.6 dB
noise figure, 15 dB gain and +13 dBm output
power from a bias supply of +4V @ 45 mA. The
packaged LNA enables economical PCB SMT
assembly for millimeterwave point-to-point ra-
dios, LMDS, and SATCOM applications. As an
alternative to chip-and-wire hybrid assemblies
the HMC268LM1 eliminates the need for
wirebonding, thereby providing a consistent con-
nection interface for the customer. All data is with
the non-hermetic, epoxy sealed LM1 packaged
LNA device mounted in a 50 ohm test fixture.
