Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC519 chip is a high dynamic range GaAs
PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which
covers the 18 to 32 GHz frequency range. The
HMC519 provides 15 dB of small signal gain,
2.8 dB of noise figure and has an output IP3
greater than 23 dBm. The chip can easily be
integrated into hybrid or MCM assemblies due to
its small size. All data is tested with the chip in a
50 Ohm test fixture connected via 0.075 mm (3
mil) ribbon bonds of minimal length 0.31 mm (12
mil). Two 0.025 mm (1 mil) diameter bondwires
may also be used to make the RFIN and RFOUT
connections.
