Overview
The HMC788LP2E is a GaAs pHEMT Gain Block MMIC amplifier produced by Analog Devices Inc. This amplifier is designed to operate from DC to 10 GHz and is packaged in a 2x2 mm DFN (Dual Flat No-Lead) package. It can be used as either a cascadable 50 Ω gain stage or to drive the local oscillator (LO) port of many single and double-balanced mixers. The amplifier offers high gain and linearity, making it suitable for various high-frequency applications.
