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.
