HMC717LP3E v06.1113 Features The HMC717LP3E is ideal for: Noise Figure: 1.1 dB * Fixed Wireless and LTE/WiMAX/4G Gain: 16.5 dB * BTS & Infrastructure Output IP3: +31.5 dBm * Repeaters and Femtocells Single Supply: +3V to +5V TE Typical Applications * Public Safety Radio 16 Lead 3x3mm QFN Package: 9 mm2 * Access Points Functional Diagram General Description SO LE The HMC717LP3E is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for fixed wireless and LTE/WiMAX/4G basestation front-end receivers operating between 4.8 and 6.0 GHz. The amplifier has been optimized to provide 1.1 dB noise figure, 16.5 dB gain and +31.5 dBm output IP3 from a single supply of +5V. Input and output return losses are excellent and the LNA requires minimal external matching and bias decoupling components. The HMC717LP3E can be biased with +3V to +5V and features an externally adjustable supply current which allows the designer to tailor the linearity performance of the LNA for each application.
