HMC441LH5 v02.0508 LINEAR & POWER AMPLIFIERS - SMT 11 Typical Applications Features The HMC441LH5 is a medium PA for: Gain: 5 dB • Telecom Infrastructure Saturated Power: +21.5 dBm @ 25% PAE • Military Radio, Radar & ECM Single Positive Supply: +5V • Space Systems 50 Ohms Matched Input/Output • Test Instrumentation Hermetic SMT Package, 25mm2 Screening to MIL-PRF-38535 (Class B or S) Available Functional Diagram General Description The HMC441LH5 is a broadband 7 to 15.5 GHz GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier housed in a hermetic SMT leadless package. The amplifier provides 15 dB of gain and 21.5 dBm of saturated power at 25% PAE from a +5V supply. This 50 Ohm matched amplifier does not require any external components, and the RF I/Os are DC blocked, making it an ideal linear gain block or driver amplifier. The HMC441LH5 allows the use of surface mount manufacturing techniques and is suitable for high reliability military, industrial & space applications.
