Overview
The HMC907A is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Distributed Power Amplifier die designed by Analog Devices, Inc. This self-biased power amplifier operates over a wide frequency range of 0.2 to 22 GHz, making it highly versatile for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier provides 14 dB of gain, 41 dBm output IP3, and +28 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression, all while requiring only 350 mA from a +10V supply. Its excellent gain flatness of ±0.7 dB from DC to 12 GHz and internally matched 50 Ohm input/output impedances facilitate easy integration into Multi-Chip-Modules (MCMs).
