HMC-C074 v01.1009 1 SINGLE STAGE POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 10 MHz - 6 GHz Features AMPLIFIERS Gain: 13 dB High P1dB Output Power: +29.5 dBm High Output IP3: +40 dBm Excellent Gain Flatness: ±0.75 dB Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Field Replaceable SMA Connectors Typical Applications Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C The HMC-C074 is ideal for: • Telecom Infrastructure • Test Instrumentation General Description • Military & Space Functional Diagram The HMC-C074 is a Single Stage Power Amplifier which operates between 10 MHz and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB of gain, +40 dBm output IP3 and +29.5 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while consuming only 450 mA from a +15V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at ±0.75 dB from 10 MHz - 6 GHz making the HMC-C074 ideal for EW, ECM, Radar and test equipment applications. The amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are DC blocked. Integrated voltage regulators allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry allows robust operation. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, -Vdc = -5V, +Vdc = 15V Parameter Min. Frequency Range Gain 11.5 Max.
