General Description
The HMC-C038 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Distrib-
uted Power Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module
with replaceable 2.92mm connectors which operates
between 2 and 35 GHz. The amplifier provides 12 dB
of gain, +29 dBm output IP3 and up to +18 dBm of
output power at 1 dB gain compression. Gain flatness
is excellent from 2 - 16 GHz making the HMC-C038
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.
