The HMC973LP3E voltage-variable attenuator (VVA) and the HMC972LP5E variable-gain amplifier (VGA) are suited for broadband, cellular/3G, WiMAX/4G, and military EW applications from 400 MHz to 6 GHz. Operating from 0.5 to 6 GHz, the HMC973LP3E accepts a single analog control signal between 0 and 5 V and provides up to 26 dB of attenuation range. It features a monolithic shunt-type topology that is non-reflective and well matched at all control voltage settings; furthermore, unlike other GaAs FET-based VVAs, the HMC973LP3E exhibits excellent linearity of 35-dBm input IP3 throughout its control range.
The HMC972LP5E analog-controlled VGA is comprised of two high linearity VVAs and a high linearity amplifier. It operates from 0.5 to 6 GHz, and can be set to provide between 35 dB of attenuation, and 15 dB of gain. The HMC972LP5E accepts a single control voltage between 0 and 5 V, to achieve up to 50 dB of gain/attenuation variation. (Ea/10: HMC973LP3E, $6.98; HMC972LP5E, $9.80 — samples from stock.)
