Overview
The HMC564, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA). This component is designed to operate within the frequency range of 7 to 13.5 GHz, making it ideal for various microwave and RF applications. The HMC564 is available in both chip form and a leadless RoHS compliant 4x4 mm SMT package (HMC564LC4). It features a single +3V supply operation, DC blocked RF I/Os, and a compact size, which makes it suitable for hybrid and MCM assemblies as well as microwave radios.
