HMC-C050 v00.1207 ULTRA LOW PHASE NOISE DISTRIBUTED AMPLIFIER, 2 - 18 GHz 1 Features AMPLIFIERS Ultra Low Phase Noise: -160 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz Noise Figure: 5 dB Gain: 13.5 dB Output IP3: +22.5 dBm Typical Applications 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output The HMC-C050 is ideal for: Single Supply Voltage: +5V • Microwave Radio Hermetically Sealed Module • Military & Space Field Replaceable SMA Connectors • Test Instrumentation -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature • VSAT General Description Functional Diagram The HMC-C050 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed to operate between 2 and 18 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 13.5 dB of gain, 5 dB noise figure and up to +22.5 dBm of OIP3 with a single supply of +5V. The ultra low phase noise contribution of -160 dBc/Hz, 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.
