General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC263LP4E is a GaAs MMIC Low Noise
Amplier (LNA) which covers the frequency range
of 24 to 36 GHz and is housed in a leadless plastic
SMT package. The HMC263LP4E utilizes a GaAs
PHEMT process offering 20 dB gain from a single
bias supply of + 3V @ 58 mA with a noise gure of
2.2 dB. The HMC263LP4E may be used in conjunc-
tion with HMC264LC3B or HMC265LM3 mixers to
realize a millimeterwave system receiver. The RF I/Os
are DC blocked and matched to 50 Ohms requiring no
external components.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should use
RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have
50 Ohm impedance while the package ground leads
and package bottom should be connected directly to
the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient
number of via holes should be used to connect the
top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation board
should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The
evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Analog Devices, upon request.
