Functional Diagram General Description

The HMC719LP4(E) is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC
Low Noise Amplifier that is ideal for Cellular/3G and
LTE/WiMAX/4G basestation front-end receivers
LE operating between 1.3 and 2.9 GHz. The amplifier
has been optimized to provide 1.0 dB noise figure,
34 dB gain and +39 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
HMC719LP4(E) shares the same package and pinout
SO
with the HMC718LP3(E) 600 - 1400 MHz LNA. The
HMC719LP4(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.
