Overview
The HMC342LC4 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is housed in a leadless 4x4 mm RoHS compliant SMT package, making it suitable for surface mount manufacturing techniques. It operates within the frequency range of 13 to 25 GHz, providing a gain of 22 dB and an output third-order intercept point (IP3) of +19 dBm from a single +3V supply. The low noise figure of 3.5 dB makes it ideal for receive and transmit pre-driver applications.
