HMC-C024 v02.1007 WIDEBAND DRIVER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 10 MHz - 20 GHz 9 Features CONNECTORIZED MODULES - AMPLIFIERS Gain: 15 dB Saturated Output Power: +24 dBm Spurious-Free Operation Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications Field Replaceable SMA connectors The HMC-C024 Wideband Driver is ideal for: • Telecom Infrastructure General Description • Microwave Radio & VSAT The HMC-C024 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 amplifier provides 15 dB of gain, 3 to 4 dB noise figure and +24 dBm of saturated output power. Deviation from linear phase of only ±2 degrees from 0.01 to 10 GHz make the HMC-C024 ideal for OC192 fiber optic LN/MZ modulator driver applications. The wideband amplifier I/Os are in-ternally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked. Integrated voltage regulators allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry assures robust operation. • Military & Space • Test Instrumentation Functional Diagram Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, +Vdc = +11V to +16V, -Vdc = -3V to -12V Parameter Min.
