HMC368LP4

Overview

The HMC368LP4 is a miniature active multiplier amplifier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology, housed in a 4x4 mm QFN-16 surface-mount package. It operates within a frequency range of 9 GHz to 16 GHz with a supply voltage of 5 V and current consumption of 75 mA. Key electrical specifications include a P1dB compression point of 10 dBm, input return loss of 10 dB, and isolation of 18 dB. The device dissipates 812 mW of power and functions reliably across an operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
