Mouser Electronics, Inc. now stocks the HMC8400 low noise amplifiers from Analog Devices. The HMC8400 devices are wideband distributed low noise amplifiers (LNAs) that operate between 2 GHz and 30 GHz. The gallium arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT MMIC devices deliver low power consumption, high linearity, low noise, figures and various fixed-gain options for use in a variety of applications.
Analog Devices HMC8400 low noise amplifiers provide 13.5 dB of gain, a 2 dB noise figure, a 26.5 dBm output third-order intercept (IP3), and 14.5 dBm of output power at the 1 dB compression point (P1db). These self-biased, cascade-distributed amplifiers operate from a 5 V supply voltage and require only a single positive supply to achieve a drain current of 67 mA. The amplifiers include a second gate bias voltage pad for gain control to allow designers to change the gate bias of the upper FETs within the range of -2 V through +2.6 V.
The HMC8400 amplifiers feature 50-Ohm internally matched and DC-blocked RF input and outputs to help facilitate integration into multichip modules. Both the inputs and outputs are AC-coupled and have a large resistor to ground for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The HMC8400 maintains good heat dissipation and high reliability at high temperatures. The devices offer use in a broad array of RF applications that include test instrumentation, microwave radios and very small aperture terminals (VSATs), military and space equipment, telecommunications and fiber optics.
