About the HMC8205 GaN MMIC Amplifier

The HMC8205 combines DC feed/RF bias choke, DC blocking capacitors and driver stage on a single design, while delivering 35 Watts with up to 44 percent power added efficiency (PAE) across an instantaneous bandwidth. The HMC8205 also operates both pulse and continuous wave, unlike comparative designs.
