General Description
The HMC-C003 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Distributed
Power Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors which operates between
2 and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplifier provides 15
dB of gain, +30 dBm output IP3 and up to +26 dBm of
output power at 1 dB gain compression while requir-
ing a single +12V supply. Gain flatness is excellent
from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC-C003 ideal for EW,
ECM RADAR and test equipment applications. The
wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50
Ohms and are internally DC blocked.
