ADI’s HMC717ALP3E is a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifier. This amp is ideal for fixed wireless and LTE/WiMAX/4G base station front-end receivers operating between 4.8 GHz and 6.0 GHz. The HMC717ALPE was optimized to provide 1.1 dB noise figure, 14.5 dB gain, and +29.5 dBm output IP3 from a single supply of +3 V to +5 V. Input and output return losses are excellent and the LNA requires minimal external matching and bias decoupling components. This amplifier can be biased with +3 V to +5 V and features an externally adjustable supply current which allows the designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA for each application.
