The HMC965LP5E is a 4 stage GaAs pHEMT MMIC 2 Watt Power Amplifier with integrated temperature compensated on-chip power detector which operates between 12.5 and 15.5 GHz. The HMC965LP5E provides 27 dB of gain, +34 dBm of saturated output power, and 20% PAE from a +6V supply. The HMC965LP5E exhibits excellent linearity and is optimized for high capacity digital microwave radio. It is also ideal for 13.75 to 14.5 GHz Ku Band VSAT transmitters as well as SATCOM applications. The HMC965LP5E amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and is packaged in a leadless QFN 5x5 mm surface mount package and requires no external matching components.
