Overview
The HMC7229LS6TR, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a four-stage, gallium arsenide (GaAs), pseudomorphic high electron mobility transfer (pHEMT) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). This component is designed as a 1 W power amplifier with an integrated temperature-compensated on-chip power detector, operating within the frequency range of 37 GHz to 40 GHz. It is ideal for linear applications requiring high gain and efficient saturated output power, such as point-to-point or multipoint radios, and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) and satellite communications (SATCOM) systems.
