Product Summary

The HMC308 is a low cost MESFET MMIC amplifier that operates from a single +3 to +5V supply from 0.8 to 3.8 GHz. The surface mount SOT26 amplifier can be used as a broadband amplifier stage or used with external matching for optimized narrow band applications. With Vdd biased at +5V, the HMC308 offers 18 dB of gain and +20 dBm of saturated output power while requiring only 53 mA of current. This amplifier is ideal as a driver amplifier for transmitters or for use as a local oscillator (LO) amplifier to increase drive levels for passive mixers. The amplifier occupies 0.014 in2 (9 mm2), making it ideal for compact radio designs.
