Overview
The HMC341LC3B is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is housed in a leadless, RoHS compliant SMT package, making it suitable for surface mount manufacturing techniques. It operates within the frequency range of 21 to 29 GHz, providing a gain of 13 dB and a noise figure of 2.5 dB from a single +3V supply. The RF I/Os are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms, eliminating the need for external components. This device is ideal for applications requiring low noise and high gain in the microwave frequency range.
