General Description
The HMC591LP5 & HMC591LP5E are high dynamic
range GaAs PHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifiers
which operate from 6 to 9.5 GHz. The amplifier
provides 18 dB of gain, +33 dBm of saturated power,
and 19% PAE from a +7V supply. This 50 Ohm mat-
ched amplifier does not require any external
components and the RF I/Os are DC blocked for
robust operation. For applications which require
optimum OIP3, Idd should be set for 940 mA, to
yield +41 dBm OIP3. For applications which require
optimum output P1dB, Idd should be set for 1340 mA,
to yield +33 dBm Output P1dB.
