HMC-C001
WIDEBAND LNA MODULE, 2 - 20 GHz
v00.0904
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C001 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low
Noise Distributed Amplifi
er in a miniature,
hermetic module with replaceable SMA con-
nectors which operates between 2 and 20 GHz.
The self-biased amplifi er provides 15 dB of gain,
2 to 3 dB noise fi gure and +14 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring
a single +12V supply. Gain fl atness is excellent
from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC-C001 ideal
for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment
applications. The wideband amplifi
er I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally DC blocked.
Noise Figure: 2 dB @ 10 GHz
Flat Gain: 15 dB 0.5 dB
P1dB Output Power: +14 dBm @ 10 GHz
50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
Regulated Supply + 9V to +15V @ 65mA
Hermetically Sealed Module
Field Replaceable SMA connectors
-55 to +85C Operating Temperature
Typical Applications
The HMC-C001 Wideband LNA is ideal for:
Telecom Infrastructure
Microwave Radio & VSAT
Military & Space
Test Instrumentation
