General Description
Features
The HMC-C059 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise
Distributed Amplier in a miniature, hermetic module
with replaceable SMA connectors which operates
between 1 and 12 GHz. The amplier provides
16 dB of gain, 1.8 dB noise gure, and up to +17
dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression. The
wideband amplier I/Os are internally matched to
50 Ohms and are internally 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.
