HMC396

HMC396 is a kind of medium power MMIC series GaAs amplifier. The series is designed for excellent linearity and best power output capability among all similar MMIC amplifiers available in the market.

HMC396 can be used in variety of applications in the radio frequency (RF) amplification region. These include high-power narrow-band amplifiers, ultra-wide-band amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and wide-band amplifiers. It is also suitable for RADAR applications and supports ultra-high gain and stability.

HMC396 is based on Gallium Arsenide technology and provides high power output, low distortion, low noise operation and high gain across the whole frequency band. This ensures maximum efficiency in the RF amplification processes. It can be used in applications ranging from gain control, digital pre-distortion, WiMax, wireless base stations, low-noise blockers and receivers. It is also suitable for use in military and aerospace vehicles, GPS receivers, and telecom applications.

The working principle of HMC396 is based on its effective utilization of two different types of biasing. The first type, called the reverse gate biasing, is used to adjust the gain of the amplifier. This allows the user to reduce the input power and thus obtain the desired distortion level. The other type of biasing, called the feed-forward biasing, alters the gain of the amplifier depending on the output voltage that is sensed by an integrated feedback loop.

The amplifier is also equipped with a wide variety of features to ensure it operates optimally. These features include temperature compensation for improved stability, superior linearity and dynamic range, as well as improved output power capabilities. The output can be further accentuated by using an external bias filter, temperature sensor and temperature feedback. The combination of all these features maximizes power output and linearity in RF amplifiers.

HMC396 is a reliable solution for RF amplification applications. It provides superior linearity and power output capabilities and is suitable for use in applications ranging from gain control, digital pre-distortion, WiMax, wireless base stations, low-noise blockers and receivers. It also offers robust design and reliable performance.
