HMC415LP3ETR

HMC415LP3ETR is a high-efficiency GaAs InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) MMIC power amplifier that operates between 4.9 and 5.9GHz. This amplifier is packaged in a low-cost, leadless surface mount package with an exposed base for improved RF and thermal performance. With a minimum of external components, the amplifier provides 20dB of gain, +26dBm of saturated power, and 34% PAE from a +3V supply voltage. Vpd can be used for full-power down or RF output power/current control. For +15dBm OFDM output power (64 QAM, 54Mbps), the HMC415LP3E achieves an error vector magnitude (EVM) of 3.7% meeting 802.11a linearity requirements. Applications include 802.11a WLAN, hiperLAN WLAN, access points, UNII & ISM radios.
