Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC604LP3(E) is a versatile, high dynamic
range GaAs MMIC Low Noise Amplifier that integrates
a low loss LNA bypass mode on the IC. The amplifier
is ideal for WiMAX & C-band Radio receivers
operating between 4.8 and 6.0 GHz and provides
1.5 dB noise figure, 15 dB of gain and +26 dBm IP3
from a single supply of +5V @ 42mA. Input and output
return losses are 12 and 14 dB respectively with no
external matching components required. A single
control line (0/Vdd) is used to switch between LNA
mode and a low loss bypass mode which reduces the
current consumption to 10 µA.

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 exposed paddle 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 circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
