Typical Applications
Features
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, +Vdc = +11V to +16V, -Vdc = -3V to -12V
The HMC-C036 Wideband PA is ideal for:
• Telecom Infrastructure
• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military & Space
• Test Instrumentation
• Fiber Optics
General Description
The HMC-C036 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power
Ampli er in a miniature, hermetic module with rep-
laceable SMA connectors which operates between
0.01 GHz and 15 GHz. The ampli er provides 12
dB of gain, up to +36 dBm output IP3 and up to
+28 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression.
Gain atness is excellent from 2 - 12 GHz making
the HMC-C036 ideal for EW, ECM RADAR, Fiber
Optic and test equipment applications. The wideband
ampli er I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and
are DC blocked. Integrated voltage regulators allow
for exible biasing of both the negative and positive
supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry
assures robust operation.
