Overview
The HMC1040CHIPS is a gallium arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) designed by Analog Devices Inc. This low noise wideband amplifier operates within the frequency range of 20 GHz to 44 GHz, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier is self-biased, requiring only 65 mA from a 2.5 V supply voltage, and it provides a typical gain of 25.0 dB, a noise figure of 2 dB, and an output third-order intercept (IP3) of 25.5 dBm. The HMC1040CHIPS features internally matched inputs and outputs to 50 Ω, which is ideal for surface-mounted technology (SMT)-based high capacity microwave radio applications.
