HMC-C036 v01.0407 WIDEBAND POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 0.5 - 15 GHz AMPLIFIERS 1 Features Gain: 12 dB P1dB Output Power: +28 dBm Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications Field Replaceable SMA connectors 0 to +85˚C Operating Temperature 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. • Fiber Optics Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, +VDC = +11V to +16V, -VDC = -3V to -12V Parameter Min.
