General Description
The HMC-C050 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise
Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed
to operate between 2 and 18 GHz. This high dynamic
range amplifier module provides 13.5 dB of gain,
5 dB noise figure and up to +22.5 dBm of OIP3
with a single supply of +5V. The ultra low phase
noise contribution of -160 dBc/Hz, enables superior
modulation accuracy within transceiver architectures.
The wideband distributed amplifier I/O’s are inter-
nally matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust
performance. The module features removable SMA
connectors which can be detached to allow direct
connection of the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar
circuit.
