Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC516LC5 is a high dynamic range GaAs
pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) housed in
a leadless “Pb free” RoHS compliant SMT package.
The HMC516LC5 provides 20 dB of small signal
gain, 2 dB of noise figure and has an output IP3 of
+25 dBm. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables
the LNA to also function as a LO driver for balanced,
I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC516LC5 allows
the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques.
