Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC817LP4E is a GaAs PHEMT Dual Chan-
nel Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G
and LTE/WiMAX/4G basestation front-end receivers
operating between 550 and 1200 MHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 0.5 dB noise figure,
24 dB gain and +37 dBm output IP3 from a single
supply of +5V. Input and output return losses are
excellent with minimal external matching and bias
decoupling components. The HMC817LP4E shares
the same package and pinout with the HMC816LP4E
and HMC818LP4E LNAs. The HMC817LP4E can be
biased with +3V to +5V and features an externally
adjustable supply current which allows the designer
to tailor the linearity performance of each channel of
the LNA for each application.
