HMC-C072 v03.0110 1 ULTRA LOW PHASE NOISE AMPLIFIER, 6 - 12 GHz Features AMPLIFIERS Ultra Low Phase Noise: -167 dBc/Hz @ 1 kHz Noise Figure: 4.5 dB Gain: 11 dB Psat: 22 dBm 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Single Supply Voltage: +7V @ 170mA Typical Applications Hermetically Sealed Module The HMC-C072 is ideal for: Field Replaceable SMA Connectors • Microwave Radio -55°C to +85°C Operating Temperature • Military & Space General Description • Test Instrumentation • VSAT Functional Diagram The HMC-C072 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed to operate between 6 and 12 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 11 dB of gain, 4.5 dB noise figure and up to 23 dB of output power with a single supply of +7V. The ultra low phase noise contribution of -167 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.
