Overview
The HMC1087F10 is an 8W Gallium Nitride (GaN) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Power Amplifier designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This device operates over a broad frequency range of 2 to 20 GHz, making it versatile for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier is housed in a 10-lead flange mount package and is not surface mountable. It is characterized by its high saturated output power, high output third-order intercept point (IP3), and small signal gain, making it ideal for demanding RF and microwave systems.
