About this manual

The HMC287MS8 is a low‑cost GaAs MMIC low‑noise amplifier (LNA) that provides 21 dB typical gain and a 2.5 dB noise figure across 2.3‑2.5 GHz. It operates from a single +3 V supply drawing only about 9 mA and includes 30 dB of analog gain control without the need for external matching components.

Typical applications include Bluetooth, HomeRF, 802.11 WLAN and other 2.5 GHz radios. An evaluation PCB with SMA connectors and a Rogers 4350 substrate is available from Hittite for rapid prototyping.
