The The HMC902LP3E has single-ended input and output ports with HMC902LP3E amplifier uses two gain stages in series. The basic impedances that are nominally equal to 50 Ω over the 5 GHz to schematic for the amplifier is shown in Figure 21, which forms a 11 GHz frequency range. Consequently, the device can be directly LNA operating from 5 GHz to 11 GHz with excellent noise inserted into a 50 Ω system with no required impedance matching figure performance. circuitry, which also means multiple HMC902LP3E amplifiers V can be cascaded back to back without the need for external DD1VDD2 matching circuitry. The input and output impedances are sufficiently stable vs. variations in temperature and supply voltage that no impedance RF matching compensation is required. INRFOUT It is critical to supply very low inductance ground connections to the package ground pad to ensure stable operation. To achieve optimal performance from the HMC902LP3E and to prevent 021 VGG1VGG2 damage to the device, do not exceed the absolute maximum 14524- Figure 21. Basic Schematic for HMC902LP3E ratings. Rev.
