HMC-C045 v00.0707 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER MODULE, 1.8 - 4.2 GHz AMPLIFIERS 1 Features Noise Figure: 0.7 dB @ 2.4 GHz Gain: 26 dB OIP3: +26 dBm P1dB Output Power: +15.5 dBm 50 Ohm Matched Input/Output Typical Applications Hermetically Sealed Module The HMC-C045 LNA is ideal for: Field Replaceable SMA Connectors • Telecom Infrastructure -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature • Microwave Radio & VSAT • Military & Space General Description • Test Instrumentation The HMC-C045 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module which operates between 1.8 and 4.2 GHz. This high dynamic range low noise amplifier module provides 26 dB of gain, sub-1 dB noise figure and up to +26 dBm of output IP3 while operating from a single positive supply between +8V and +15V. The amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust performance. The module features removable coaxial connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
