HMC-C048 v00.1007 AMPLIFIERS 1 LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER MODULE, 5 - 9 GHz Features Low Noise Figure: 1.4 dB @ 6 GHz High Gain: 24 dB Output IP3: +25 dBm P1dB Output Power: +14.8 dBm Typical ypical Applications The HMC-C048 LNA is ideal for: • Telecom Infrastructure • Microwave Radio & VSAT 50 Ohm Matched & DC Blocked RF I/Os Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable SMA Connectors -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature • Military & Space General Description • Test Instrumentation Functional Diagram The HMC-C048 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module which operates between 5 and 9 GHz. This high dynamic range low noise amplifier module provides 24 dB of gain and up to +25 dBm of output IP3 while operating from a single positive supply between +8V and +16V. 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. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vdc = +12V Parameter Min. Frequency Range Gain 20 Gain Variation Over Temperature Max.
