HMC-C038

HMC-C038 v00.0806 WIDEBAND DRIVER AMPLIFIER MODULE, 2 - 35 GHz Features Gain: 12 dB @ 10 GHz P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm @ 10 GHz Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Hermetically Sealed Module Field Replaceable 2.92 mm Connectors 1 AMPLIFIERS Typical Applications The HMC-C038 Wideband Driver is ideal for: • Telecom Infrastructure • Microwave Radio & VSAT • Military & Space • Test Instrumentation • Fiber Optics -55 to +85˚C Operating Temperature General Description The HMC-C038 is a GaAs PHEMT MMIC Distributed Power Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with replaceable 2.92mm connectors which operates between 2 and 35 GHz. The amplifier provides 12 dB of gain, +29 dBm output IP3 and up to +18 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression. Gain flatness is excellent from 2 - 16 GHz making the HMC-C038 ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment applications. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are DC blocked. Integrated voltage regulators allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry assures robust operation.
