Overview
The HMC463-SX, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier die. It operates over a wide frequency range of 2 to 20 GHz, making it highly versatile for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier is designed to provide 14 dB of gain, a noise figure of 2.5 dB, and an output power of 19 dBm at 1 dB gain compression. It requires a supply voltage of +5V and a current of 60 mA, making it a low-power solution. The HMC463-SX also features adjustable gain control (AGC) with an optional gate bias, allowing for a gain adjustment of up to 10 dB.
