The HMC-C036 Wideband PA is ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military & Space
General Description
• Test Instrumentation
The HMC-C036 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power
Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors which operates
between 0.5 GHz and 15 GHz. The amplifier provides
12 dB of gain, up to +36 dBm output IP3 and up to
+28 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression.
Gain flatness is excellent from 2 - 12 GHz making the
HMC-C036 ideal for EW, ECM RADAR, Fiber Optic
and test equipment applications. The wideband
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
assures robust operation.
