Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC604LP3(E) is a versatile, high dynamic
range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that integrates
a low loss LNA bypass mode on the IC. The amplifier
is ideal for WiMAX & C-band Radio receivers
operating between 4.8 and 6.0 GHz and provides
1.5 dB noise figure, 15 dB of gain and +26 dBm IP3
from a single supply of +5V @ 42mA. Input and output
return losses are 12 and 14 dB respectively with no
external matching components required. A single
control line (0/Vdd) is used to switch between LNA
mode and a low loss bypass mode which reduces the
current consumption to 10 μA.
