Functional Diagram
General Description
The hmC907 is a GaAs mmiC phemT Distributed
power Amplifier die which operates between 0.2 and
22 Ghz. This self-biased power amplifier provides
14 dB of gain, 38 dBm output ip3 and +27 dBm of
output power at 1 dB gain compression while requir-
ing only 350mA from a +10V supply. Gain flatness is
excellent at ±0.6 dB from DC to 12 Ghz making the
hmC907 ideal for ew, eCm, radar and test equip-
ment applications. The hmC907 amplifier i/os are
internally matched to 50 ohms facilitating integration
into mutli-Chip-modules (mCms). All data is taken
with the chip connected via two 0.025mm (1 mil) wire
bonds of minimal 0.31 mm (12 mils) length.
