Description
The HMMC-5025 was designed as a generic wide band distributed amplifier, covering the frequency span 2 – 50 GHz. It consists of seven stages. Each stage is made up of two cascoded FETs with gate peripheries of 48 mm per FET. Both input and output ports were designed to provide 50 ohm terminations. Bonding pads are provided in the layout to allow amplifier operation at frequencies lower than 2 GHz by means of external circuit components.
