Overview
The HMC463LP5ETR from Analog Devices Inc. is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise AGC Distributed Amplifier. This component is packaged in a leadless 5x5 mm surface mount package and operates across a wide frequency range of 2 to 20 GHz. It is designed to provide high performance with low noise, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier offers 13 dB of gain, a noise figure of 2.8 dB at 10 GHz, and an output power of 18 dBm at 1 dB gain compression. It requires a supply voltage of +5V and a current of 60 mA. An optional gate bias (Vgg2) allows for Adjustable Gain Control (AGC) of up to 8 dB typical.
