General Description
The HmC-aBH241 is a four stage Gaas HemT mmiC
medium Power amplifier which operates between
50 and 66 GHz. The HmC-aBH241 provides 24 dB
of gain, and an output power of +17 dBm at 1dB
compression from a +5V 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-aBH241 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.
