Overview
The HMC564LC4 is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is housed in a leadless, RoHS compliant 4x4 mm SMT package. It operates over a frequency range of 6 to 14 GHz, making it ideal for various microwave applications. The HMC564LC4 features extremely flat small signal gain of 17 dB, a noise figure of 1.8 dB, and an output third-order intercept point (IP3) of +25 dBm across its operating band. This self-biased LNA is particularly suited for microwave radios due to its consistent output power, single +3V supply operation, and DC blocked RF I/Os.
