Amps and mixers suit backhaul radios to 46.5 GHz

The following two amplifiers and three mixers are ideal for microwave & mmwave radios, military sensors, test & measurement equipment and SatCom applications from 24 to 46.5 GHz. The HMC1040LP3CE is a self-biased GaAs MMIC LNA which operates between 24 and 43.5 GHz and delivers 23-dB gain, 2.2-dB noise figure, and output IP3 up to +22 dBm. This part also consumes only 70 mA from a 2.5-V supply and has an output P1-dB rating of 12 dBm.

The HMC1016 is a four stage GaAs PHEMT MMIC medium power amplifier die which operates between 34 and 46.5 GHz and provides 22 dB of gain, 26 dBm of saturated output power, and 17% PAE from a 6 V supply. The HMC1041LC4 and HMC1042LC4 are compact I/Q MMIC mixers which cover RF frequencies from 17 to 27 GHz and from 15 to 33.5 GHz respectively.

The HMC1043LC3 is a special purpose triple balanced mixer which accepts 16 to 22 GHz at the IF port and 26 to 32 GHz at the RF port.(Contact company for pricing and availability)
