Typical Applications

This HMC-ALH310 is ideal for:

• Point-to-Point Radios

• Point-to-Multi-Point Radios

• Military & Space

The HMC-ALH310 is a three stage GaAs HEMT MMIC

Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) which operates between

37 and 42 GHz. The HMC-ALH310 features 22 dB of

small signal gain, 3.5 dB of noise figure and an output

power of +12 dBm at 1dB compression from a +2.5V

supply voltage. All bond pads and the die backside

are Ti/Au metallized and the amplifier device is fully

passivated for reliable operation. This versatile LNA

is compatible with conventional die attach methods,

as well as thermocompression and thermosonic

wirebonding, making it ideal for MCM and hybrid

microcircuit applications. All data shown herein is

measured with the chip in a 50 Ohm environment and

contacted with RF probes.
