HMC-C004 v02.1105 WIDEBAND DRIVER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 10 MHz - 20 GHz 9 Features AMPLIFIERS - CONNECTORIZED MODULES Gain: 15 dB +24 dBm Saturated Output Power 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications Field Replaceable SMA connectors The HMC-C004 Wideband Driver is ideal for: • Telecom Infrastructure • Microwave Radio & VSAT General Description • Military & Space The HMC-C004 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed Driver Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with replaceable SMA connectors which operates between 10 MHz and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplifier provides 15 dB of gain, 3 to 4 dB noise figure and +24 dBm of saturated output power while requiring a single +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at ± 0.5 dB as well as ± 2 deg deviation from linear phase from 0.01 to 10 GHz making the HMC-C004 ideal for OC192 fiber optic LN/MZ modulator driver applications. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked. • Test Instrumentation Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vs= +11.6V to +12.4V Parameter Min.
