HMC-C057

WIDEBAND POWER AMPLIFIER

MODULE, 0.01 - 20 GHz

v03.0709

Functional Diagram

Typical Applications

Features

The HMC-C057 Wideband PA is ideal for:

• Telecom Infrastructure

• Microwave Radio & VSAT

• Military & Space

• Test Instrumentation

• Fiber Optics

General Description

The HMC-C057 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power

Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with

replaceable SMA connectors which operates bet-

ween 0.01 GHz and 20 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 - 18 GHz making

the HMC-C057 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.
