HMC-C037 v03.0509 WIDEBAND POWER AMPLIFIER BENCHTOP MODULE, 0.01 - 15 GHz 1 Features AMPLIFIERS Gain: 12 dB P1dB Output Power: +28 dBm Eliminates Band Switching Excellent Gain Flatness Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Typical Applications Hermetically Sealed Module The HMC-C037 Wideband PA is ideal for: Field Replaceable SMA connectors * Lab Instrumentation 0 to +85C Operating Temperature * Test Equipment General Description The HMC-C037 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power Amplifier in a benchtop, hermetic module with replaceable SMA connectors and integral heatsink which operates between 0.01 GHz and 15 GHz. The amplifier provides 12 dB of gain, up to +37 dBm output IP3 and up to +28 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression. Gain flatness is excellent at 0.3 dB from 2 - 12 GHz making the HMC-C037 ideal for general purpose lab instrumentation 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.
