Typical Applications
Hermetically Sealed Module
The HMC-C003 Wideband PA is ideal for:
Field Replaceable SMA connectors
• Telecom Infrastructure
-55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military & Space
General Description
• Test Instrumentation
The HMC-C003 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed Power Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module
with replaceable SMA connectors which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplifier
provides 15 dB of gain, +34 dBm output IP3 and up to
+26 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression
while requiring a single +12V supply. Gain flatness
is excellent from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC-C003
ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment applications. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally
matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked.
