Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC-AUH320 is a high dynamic range, four stage
GaAs HEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier which
operates between 71 and 86 GHz. The HMC-AUH320
provides 16 dB of gain at 74 GHz, and an output
power of +15 dBm at 1 dB compression from a +4V
supply voltage. All bond pads and the die backside
are Ti/Au metallized and the amplifier device is fully
passivated for reliable operation. The HMC-AUH320
GaAs HEMT MMIC Medium Power Amplifier is
compatible with conventional die attach methods,
as well as thermocompression and thermosonic
wire bonding, making it ideal for MCM and hybrid
microcircuit applications. All data shown herein is
measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and
contacted with RF probes.
