Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC463 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
AGC Distributed Amplifier die which operates between
2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 14 dB of gain,
2.5 dB noise figure and 19 dBm of output power at
1 dB gain compression while requiring only 60 mA
from a +5V supply. An optional gate bias (Vgg2) is
provided to allow Adjustable Gain Control (AGC) of
10 dB typical. Gain flatness is excellent at 0.15 dB
from 6 - 18 GHz making the HMC463 ideal for EW,
ECM and RADAR applications. The HMC463 ampli-
fier can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip-Modules
(MCMs) due to its small size. All data is with the
chip in a 50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.025mm
(1 mil) diameter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31mm
(12 mils).
