General Description
• Test Instrumentation
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C048 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise
Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module which
operates between 5 and 9 GHz. This high dynamic
range low noise amplifier module provides 22 dB
of gain and up to +25 dBm of output IP3 while operating from a single positive supply between +8V and
+16V. The amplifier I/Os are internally matched to
50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust performance.
The module features removable coaxial connectors
which can be detached to allow direct connection of
the I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, Vdc = +12V
