Product Overview
The HMC327MS8GETR is a high-efficiency RF power amplifier MMIC designed for operation in the 3 GHz to 4 GHz frequency band. Built using GaAs InGaP heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology, the device delivers high gain and high output power with minimal external components. It operates from a single +5 V supply and offers power-down capability to reduce current consumption when not in use. Its compact 8-lead MSOP-EP surface-mount package with exposed paddle improves RF and thermal performance, making it ideal for wireless local loop, WLAN, fixed wireless access, and other RF power applications.
