General Description
The HMC-C037 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power
Amplifier in a benchtop, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors and integral heatsink
which operates between 0.5 GHz and 15 GHz. The
amplifier provides 12 dB of gain, up to +37 dBm
output IP3 and up to +28 dBm of output power at 1
dB gain compression. Gain flatness is excellent at
±0.3 dB from 2 - 12 GHz making the HMC-C037 ideal
for general purpose lab instrumentation 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.
Electrical Specifications, T_A = +25° C, +VDC = +11V to +16V, -VDC = -3V to -12V
