Typical Applications
The HMC-C077 is ideal for:
• Microwave Radio
• Military & Space
General Description
• Test Instrumentation
The HMC-C077 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise
Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed to
operate between 1.5 and 5 GHz. This high dynamic
range amplifier module provides 14 dB of gain,
4.5 dB noise figure and up to +22 dBm of output
power with a single supply of +7V. The ultra low
phase noise contribution of -163 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
features removable SMA connectors which can
be detached to allow direct connection of the I/O
pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.
