General Description
The HMC-C026 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 30
dB of gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, +30 dBm output IP3
and up to +26 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain com-
pression. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally
matched to 50 Ohms and are DC blocked making
the HMC-C026 ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test
equipment applications. Integrated voltage regula-
tors allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and
positive supply pins, while internal bias sequencing
circuitry assures robust operation.
