• Four-stage GaAs HEMT MMIC architecture
• High dynamic range performance
• Medium power amplification capabilities

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as the HMC-AUH320-SX is listed as obsolete by Analog Devices Inc. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or secondary market channels, noting that supply may be limited. Ensure compatibility with existing system designs before procurement due to end-of-life status.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring amplification in the 71-86 GHz frequency range. Consider the 16 dB gain and 15 dBm P1dB output when designing signal chains. Evaluate thermal management requirements for the die package and ensure impedance matching networks are optimized for millimeter-wave frequencies.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC-AUH series of GaAs HEMT MMICs from Analog Devices Inc. It is functionally similar to the HMC-AUH318-SX but operates over a wider frequency band up to 86 GHz compared to the 76 GHz limit of the AUH318 variant.
