Key Featrues

Wide Operating Frequency Range (14GHz to 27GHz): The HMC504LC4B operates across a broad frequency spectrum, making it highly versatile for applications such as point-to-point radios, military systems, and test instrumentation. This wide range ensures compatibility with various high-frequency communication systems, enhancing its adaptability in diverse use cases.
Low Noise Figure (2.2dB @ 20GHz): With a noise figure as low as 2.2 dB, this amplifier significantly minimizes signal degradation, making it ideal for applications requiring high signal integrity, such as satellite communications and high-capacity microwave radios. This feature ensures improved signal clarity and reduced interference.
High Gain (19dB): The amplifier provides a substantial gain of 19 dB, which boosts weak signals effectively. This high gain is particularly beneficial in long-distance communication systems, where signal strength can diminish over transmission paths, ensuring reliable and robust signal amplification.
High Output Power (P1dB of +17dBm): The HMC504LC4B delivers an output power of up to +17 dBm, enabling it to function efficiently as a local oscillator (LO) driver for mixers in balanced, I/Q, or image reject configurations. This high output power ensures strong signal transmission and improved system performance.
Low Power Consumption (90mA @ 4V): Operating at just 90 mA from a 4V supply, the amplifier is highly efficient, reducing overall power consumption in systems where energy efficiency is critical. This low power requirement makes it suitable for portable and battery-operated devices, extending operational life and reducing heat generation.
