General Description
The HMC356LP3 & HMC356LP3E are high dynamic
range GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifiers
is ideal for GSM & CDMA cellular basestation and
Mobile Radio front-end receivers operating between
350 and 550 MHz. This LNA has been optimized to
provide 1.0 dB noise figure, 17 dB gain and +38 dBm
output IP3 from a single supply of +5.0V @ 104 mA.
Input and output return losses are 15 dB typical, with
the LNA requiring only four external components to
optimize the RF input match, RF ground and DC bias.
The HMC356LP3 & HMC356LP3E share the same
package and pinout with the HMC372LP3 high IP3
LNA. A low cost, leadless 3x3 mm (LP3) SMT QFN
package houses the low noise amplifier.
