HMC758LP3 / 758LP3E v00.1108 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIERS - SMT 8 GaAs SMT PHEMT LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER, 700 - 2200 MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC758LP3(E) is ideal for: Noise Figure: 1.7 dB • Cellular Infrastructure, WiMAX & LTE/4G Gain: 22 dB • Software Defined Radios Output IP3: +37 dBm • Repeaters and Femtocells Single Supply: +3V to +5V • Access Points 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output • Test & Measurement Equipment 16 Lead 3x3 mm SMT Package: 9 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC758LP3(E) is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular Infrastructure, WiMAX & LTE/4G basestation front-end receivers operating between 700 and 2200 MHz. The amplifier has been optimized to provide 1.7 dB noise figure, 21 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 HMC758LP3(E) can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an externally adjustable supply current, which allows the designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA for each application.
