GaAs pHEMT MMIC 2 WATT


POWER AMPLIFIER, 15 - 20 GHz

Typical Applications Features


The HMC6981LS6 is ideal for: P1dB Output Power: +32 dBm
Amplifiers - Linear & Power - SMT

• Point-to-Point Radios 25% PAE @ +34 dBm Pout


• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios Gain: 26 dB
• SATCOM Output IP3: +43 dBm
50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
Ceramic 6 x 6 mm High Frequency Air Cavity Package

Functional Diagram General Description


The HMC6981LS6 is a four-stage GaAs pHEMT
MMIC Power Amplifier with an integrated temperature
compensated on-chip Power Detector, which operates
between 15 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides
26 dB of gain, +34 dBm of saturated output power,
and 25% PAE from a +5.5V supply. With an excellent
output IP3 of +43 dBm, the HMC6981LS6 is ideal for
linear applications such as high capacity point-to-point
or point-to-multi-point radios or SATCOM applications
demanding +34 dBm of efficient saturated output
power. The HMC6981LS6 is housed in a ceramic
6 x 6 mm high frequency air cavity package which
exhibits low thermal resistance and is compatible with
high volume surface mount manufacturing techniques.
The RF I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms.
