General Description
The HMC994LP5E is a G a A s p H E M T M M I C D i s t r i b u t e d
Wideband Power Amplifier which operates between
DC and 28 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB of gain,
+29 dBm of saturated output power, and 23% PAE
from a +10V supply. With up to +38 dBm Output IP3 the
HMC994LP5E is ideal for high linearity applications in
military and space as well as point-to-point and point-
to-multi-point radios. The HMC994LP5E exhibits a
very flat gain from 4 to 16 GHz making it ideal for EW,
ECM, Radar and test equipment applications. The
HMC994LP4E amplifier I/Os are internally matched to
50 Ohms and is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm
surface mount package.
