Overview
The HMC659LC5 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Distributed Power Amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. It is housed in a leadless 5 x 5 mm RoHS compliant ceramic SMT package and operates over a wide frequency range from DC to 15 GHz. This amplifier is designed to provide high performance with 19 dB of gain, +35 dBm output IP3, and +27.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression. It requires a supply voltage of +8V and a current of 300 mA. The HMC659LC5 is ideal for various applications including EW, ECM, Radar, test equipment, telecom infrastructure, microwave radio, VSAT, military, space, and fiber optics.
