Overview
The HMC441LC3BTR is an efficient GaAs pHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is housed in a leadless RoHS compliant SMT package and operates within the frequency range of 6 to 18 GHz. It provides 14 dB of gain, +21.5 dBm of saturated power, and 27% Power Added Efficiency (PAE) from a single +5V supply. The amplifier is 50 Ohm matched at both the input and output, eliminating the need for external matching components. This makes it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers. The HMC441LC3BTR is compatible with high-volume surface mount manufacturing techniques and features DC-blocked I/Os for ease of integration.
