Overview
The HMC998APM5E is a GaAs pHEMT MMIC Distributed Power Amplifier designed by Analog Devices. It operates over a wide frequency range from DC to 22 GHz, making it highly versatile for various high-frequency applications. The amplifier provides +15 dB of gain, +42 dBm output IP3, and +32 dBm of output power at 1dB gain compression. It requires only 500mA from a +15V supply and exhibits a slightly positive gain slope from 3 to 17 GHz, which is ideal for military, space, and test equipment applications.
