General Description
The HMC283 chip is a four stage GaAs MMIC Medium Power Amplifier (MPA) which covers the frequency range of 17 to 40 GHz. The chip can easily be integrated into Multi-Chip Modules (MCMs) due to its small (1.62 mm2) size. The chip utilizes a GaAs PHEMT process offering 20 dB gain and +21 dBm output power from a bias supply of +3.5V @ 300mA. The HMC283 may be used as a frequency doubler. A B.I.T.
