The HMC8412 from Analog Devices is a GaAs, MMIC, Low Noise Amplifier that operates from 0.4 to 11 GHz. The amplifier provides a typical gain of 15.5 dB with a noise figure of 1.4 dB. It has an OIP3 of up to 33 dBm and saturated output power (PSAT) of 20.5 dBm which enables this low noise amplifier to function as a local oscillator (LO) driver for balanced, in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) or image rejection mixers. The amplifier requires a supply voltage of 5 V and consumes 60 mA of current. It’s I/O ports are internally matched to 50 ohms and is based on pHEMT technology. This RoHS Compliant MMIC is available in a 6-lead LFCSP package that measures 2 x 2 mm and is ideal for test instrumentation, telecommunications infrastructure, military and radar, electronic warfare, and aerospace applications.
