HMC718LP4 / 718LP4E v01.1008 Typical Applications Features The HMC718LP4(E) is ideal for: Noise Figure: 0.9 dB * Cellular/3G and LTE/WiMAX/4G Gain: 32 dB * BTS & Infrastructure Output IP3: +40 dBm * Repeaters and Femtocells Single Supply: +3V to +5V * Access Points 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output TE * Test Equipment 24 Lead 4x4 mm SMT Package: 16 mm2 Functional Diagram General Description LE The HMC718LP4(E) is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and LTE/WiMAX/4G basestation front-end receivers operating between 600 and 1400 MHz. The amplifier has been optimized to provide 0.9 dB noise figure, 32 dB gain and +40 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 HMC718LP4(E) shares the same package and pinout with the HMC719LP3(E) 1.3 - 2.9 GHz LNA. The HMC718LP4(E) 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.
