Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC797APM5E is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Dis-
tributed Power Amplifier which operates between DC
and 22 GHz. The amplifier provides 15 dB of gain, +29
dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression, +31
dBm of saturated output power, and 25% PAE while
requiring 400 mA from a +10 V supply. With up to +41
dBm of output IP3, the HMC797APM5E is ideal for high
linearity applications in military and space as well as test
equipment where high order modulations are used. This
versatile PA exhibits a positive gain slope from 2 to 20
GHz making it ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test equip-
ment applications. The HMC797APM5E amplifier I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms facilitating integration
into mutli-chip-modules (MCMs), is packaged in a lead-
less QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package, and requires
no external matching components.
