HMC-AUH318-WP

Overview

The HMC-AUH318-WP is a GaAs HEMT MMIC medium power amplifier operating between 71 and 76 GHz. It provides 24 dB of gain with an output power of +17.5 dBm at the 1 dB compression point. The device requires a 4 V supply voltage and draws 160 mA of current. It features a single channel configuration with an input return loss of 7 dB. The component is supplied in a waffle pack package.

Feature Summary

• High dynamic range three-stage GaAs HEMT MMIC architecture
• Medium power amplification capability for millimeter-wave frequencies
• Single-channel RF signal processing design

Applications

• Millimeter-wave communication systems
• Point-to-point radio links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to confirm the exact packaging format, as the base model may differ from the waffle-pack variant. Confirm that the die-level specifications align with the intended board integration requirements. Ensure compatibility with the required 4 V supply rail and thermal management solutions for the specified frequency band operation.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high gain and moderate output power within the 71 to 76 GHz range. Consider the GaAs HEMT technology for its established performance characteristics in millimeter-wave bands. Evaluate the need for external matching networks to optimize impedance matching for the 7 dB input return loss specification.
