HMC-C077 v00.1109 ULTRA LOW PHASE NOISE AMPLIFIER MODULE, 1.5 - 5 GHz 1 Features AMPLIFIERS Ultra Low Phase Noise: -163 dBc/Hz @ 1 kHz Gain: 14 dB Output Power: +22 dBm Single Supply Voltage: +7V @ 170mA Hermetically Sealed Module -55°C to +85°C Operating Temperature Typical Applications The HMC-C077 is ideal for: • Microwave Radio • Military & Space General Description • Test Instrumentation The HMC-C077 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed to operate between 1.5 and 5 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 14 dB of gain, 4.5 dB noise figure and up to +22 dBm of output power with a single supply of +7V. The ultra low phase noise contribution of -163 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. • VSAT Functional Diagram Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25 °C, Vdc = +7V Parameter Min.
