Overview
The HMC516LC5TR is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) designed and manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. This component is housed in a leadless, Pb-free, RoHS compliant SMT package, making it suitable for surface mount manufacturing techniques. The amplifier operates within the frequency range of 9 to 18 GHz, providing a small signal gain of 20 dB and a noise figure of 2 dB. It is also capable of delivering an output IP3 of +25 dBm and a P1dB output power of +13 dBm, enabling it to function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q, or image reject mixers.
