Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC753LP4E is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise
Wideband Amplifier housed in a leadless 4x4 mm
plastic surface mount package. The amplifier oper-
ates between 1 and 11 GHz, providing up to 16.5 dB
of small signal gain, 1.5 dB noise figure, and output
IP3 of +30 dBm, while requiring only 55 mA from a
+5V supply. The P1dB output power of up to +18
dBm enables the LNA to function as a LO driver for
balanced, I/Q or image reject mixers. The HMC-
753LP4E also features I/Os that are DC blocked and
internally matched to 50 Ohms, making it ideal for
high capacity microwave radios or VSAT applications.
This versatile LNA is also available in die form as the
HMC-ALH444.
