General Description
The HMC-C024 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed
Driver Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors which operates bet-
ween 10 MHz and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides
15 dB of gain, 3 to 4 dB noise figure and +24 dBm of
saturated output power. Deviation from linear phase
of only ±2 degrees from 0.01 to 10 GHz make the
HMC-C024 ideal for OC192 fiber optic LN/MZ
modulator driver applications. The wideband amplifier
I/Os are in-ternally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally 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.
