The amplifier operates between 7.5 and 26.5 GHz, providing 13 dB of small signal gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and output IP3 of +23 dBm, while requiring only 70 mA from a +3.5 V supply. The P1dB output power of +13 dBm enables the LNA to function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC962LC4 also features I/Os that are DC blocked and internally matched to 50 Ohms, making it ideal for high capacity microwave radios and VSAT applications.

Signal lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
