This LNA has been optimized to provide 1.0 dB noise figure, 17 dB gain and +38 dBm output IP3 from a single supply of +5V @ 104 mA. Input and output return losses are 15 dB typical, with the LNA requiring only four external components to optimize the RF input match, RF ground and DC bias. For applications which require improved noise figure, please see the HMC616LP3(E). Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vs = +5V Parameter Min.
