General Description
The HMC-C072 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise
Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed
to operate between 6 and 12 GHz. This high dynamic
range amplifier module provides 11 dB of gain,
4.5 dB noise figure and up to 23 dB of output power
with a single supply of +7V. The ultra low phase noise
contribution of -167 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset, enables
superior modulation accuracy within transceiver
architectures. The wideband distributed amplifier
I/O’s are internally matched to 50 Ohms and DC
blocked for robust performance. The module fea-
tures removable SMA connectors which can be
detached to allow direct connection of the I/O pins to
a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
