General Description
The HMC-C023 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distrib-
uted Power Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module
with replaceable SMA connectors which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides 15 dB
of gain, +30 dBm output IP3 and up to +26 dBm of
output power at 1 dB gain compression. Gain flatness
is excellent from 2 - 16 GHz making the HMC-C023
ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment appli-
cations. 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.
