• Operates across a wide frequency range from 6 GHz to 18 GHz
• Provides high output power with a P1dB of 20 dBm
• Housed in a compact, leadless RoHS-compliant SMT package

Applications

• Point-to-point microwave radio links
• Electronic warfare systems
• Radar receiver front-ends
• Instrumentation applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the 12-CSMT package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure that the 5V supply voltage and 115mA current draw are supported by your system design before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high linearity and moderate power output in the K/Ka-band spectrum. Consider the 14 dB gain and 4.5 dB noise figure for signal chain optimization. Evaluate the 20 dBm P1dB capability against your link budget requirements to ensure adequate dynamic range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the HMC441 series of medium power amplifiers. It is distinct from other RF amplifiers by its specific GaAs pHEMT construction and optimized performance in the 6-18 GHz range. The TR suffix denotes the reel packaging format, differentiating it from bulk or cut-tape variants.
