Overview
The HMC442LC3BTR is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is housed in a leadless, Pb-free, RoHS compliant SMT package. It operates within the frequency range of 17.5 to 25.5 GHz, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier provides 13 dB of gain, +23 dBm of saturated power, and achieves a power added efficiency (PAE) of 26% from a +5V supply voltage. Its 50 Ohm matched input and output do not require any external components, making it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers.
