HMC-C016 v01.0506 WIDEBAND LNA MODULE, 7 - 17 GHz AMPLIFIERS - CONNECTORIZED MODULES 9 Features Noise Figure: 2 dB @ 16 GHz Gain: 22 dB P1dB Output Power: +14 dBm @ 16 GHz 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Regulated Supply Typical Applications Hermetically Sealed Module The HMC-C016 Wideband LNA is ideal for: Field Replaceable SMA Connectors • Telecom Infrastructure -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature • Microwave Radio & VSAT • Military & Space • Test Instrumentation General Description • Fiber Optics The HMC-C016 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module which operates between 7 and 17 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier provides 22 dB of gain, 2 dB noise figure and up to +14 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression while operating from a single positive supply between +8 and +16 volts. The I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and internally 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.
