The HMC-C004 Wideband Driver is ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
General Description
• Military & Space
The HMC-C004 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed
Driver Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors which operates between 10 MHz and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplifier
provides 15 dB of gain, 3 to 4 dB noise figure and
+24 dBm of saturated output power while requiring
a single +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent at
±0.5 dB as well as ± 2 deg deviation from linear
phase from 0.01 to 10 GHz making the HMC-C004
ideal for OC192 fiber optic LN/MZ modulator driver
applications. The wideband amplifier I/Os are
internally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC
blocked.
