HMC-C027 v00.0306 AMPLIFIERS - CONNECTORIZED MODULES 9 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER MODULE, 29 - 36 GHz Features Noise Figure: 2.9 dB Gain: 20 dB OIP3: 22 dBm P1dB Output Power: +11 dBm Typical Applications The HMC-C027 Wideband LNA is ideal for: 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable 2.92 mm Connectors • Telecom Infrastructure • Microwave Radio & VSAT -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature • Military & Space • Test Instrumentation General Description • Fiber Optics The HMC-C027 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module which operates between 29 and 36 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 20 dB of gain, 2.9 dB noise figure and up to +22 dBm of output IP3 from a single +3V supply. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust performance. The module features positive gain slope, and consistent noise figure and output power performance across its operating band.
