Overview
The HMC451LC3 is an efficient GaAs PHEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. It is housed in a leadless, RoHS compliant SMT package and operates within the frequency range of 5 to 20 GHz. This amplifier is designed to provide 19 dB of gain, +21 dBm of saturated power, and 21% Power Added Efficiency (PAE) from a single +5V supply. The 50 Ohm matched input and output, along with DC blocked RF I/Os, make it an ideal linear gain block or driver for HMC SMT mixers. The component is suitable for surface mount manufacturing techniques, enhancing its versatility in various applications.
