Typical Applications
Radar and Electronic Warfare
The wide frequency coverage supports broadband radar receivers, electronic warfare equipment, ECM systems and frequency-agile microwave assemblies. HMC464 can be used as an intermediate driver stage before a higher-power RF amplifier.
Microwave Radio and VSAT
HMC464 is suitable for broadband microwave radio, point-to-point communication and VSAT equipment requiring amplification across several operating bands.
RF Test and Measurement
Its broad bandwidth makes the device useful in signal generators, spectrum-analysis equipment, laboratory microwave assemblies and general-purpose RF test platforms.
Multichip Modules
The bare-die construction and 50Ω matched RF ports allow the amplifier to be integrated into hybrid microwave circuits and multichip modules where board area and package parasitics must be minimized.
Fiber-Optic Equipment
HMC464 can also be used in high-frequency optical communication equipment requiring a broadband microwave driver amplifier.
