HMC-C076 v00.1109 1 ULTRA LOW PHASE NOISE AMPLIFIER MODULE, 7 - 11 GHz Features AMPLIFIERS Ultra Low Phase Noise: -170 dBc/Hz @ 1 kHz Noise Figure: 6 dB Gain: 9 dB Psat: +25 dBm 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Single Supply Voltage: +7V @ 300mA Typical Applications Hermetically Sealed Module The HMC-C076 is ideal for: Field Replaceable SMA Connectors • Microwave Radio -55°C to +85°C Operating Temperature • Military & Space • Test Instrumentation General Description • VSAT The HMC-C076 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed to operate between 7 and 11 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 9 dB of gain, 6 dB noise figure and up to +25 dBm of output power with a single supply of +7V. The ultra low phase noise contribution of -170 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset, enables superior modulation accuracy within transceiver architectures. The wideband distributed amplifier I/O’s are internally matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust performance. The module features removable SMA connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
