HMC-C016
WIDEBAND LNA MODULE, 7 - 17 GHz
v00.0905
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C016 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
Amplifi er in a miniature, hermetic module which
operates between 7 and 17 GHz. This high dynamic
range amplifi er provides 22 dB of gain, 2 dB noise
fi gure and up to +14 dBm of output power at 1 dB
gain compression while operating from a single
positive supply between +8 and +16 volts. The I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and internally
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.
