Overview
The HMC566 is a high dynamic range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) chip manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It operates within the frequency range of 29 to 36 GHz, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications. This self-biased LNA is characterized by its compact size, slightly positive gain slope, and single +3V supply operation, along with DC blocked RF I/Os. The HMC566 is ideal for use in hybrid and MCM assemblies due to its robust performance and compact design.
