The HmC816lp4e is a GaAs pHemT Dual Channel
low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and
lTe/wimAX/4G basestation front-end receivers
operating between 230 and 660 mHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 0.5 dB noise figure,
22 dB gain and +37 dBm output ip3 from a single
supply of +5V. input and output return losses are
excellent with minimal external matching and bias
decoupling components. The HmC816lp4e shares
the same package and pinout with the HmC817-
lp4e & HmC818lp4e lNAs. The HmC817lp4e can
be biased with +3V to +5V and features an externally
adjustable supply current which allows the designer
to tailor the linearity performance of each channel of
the lNA for each application.
