HMC-C017 v00.0905 WIDEBAND LNA MODULE, 17 - 27 GHz AMPLIFIERS - CONNECTORIZED MODULES 9 Features Noise Figure: 2.75 dB Gain: 18 dB P1dB Output Power: +14 dBm 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Regulated Supply: Vs = +8V to +16V Typical Applications Hermetically Sealed Module The HMC-C017 Wideband LNA is ideal for: Field Replaceable 2.92 mm Connectors • Telecom Infrastructure -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature • Microwave Radio & VSAT • Military & Space • Test Instrumentation General Description • Fiber Optics The HMC-C017 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module which operates between 17 and 27 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 18 dB of gain, 2.75 dB noise figure and up to +25 dBm of output IP3 while the internal voltage regulator accepts a supply voltage from +8V to +16V. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked for robust performance. The module features removable coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
