HMC-C059 v01.0310 WIDEBAND LNA MODULE, 1 - 12 GHz 1 Features amplifiers Noise Figure: 1.8 dB @ 8 GHz High Gain: 16 dB @ 8 GHz P1dB Output Power: +16 dBm @ 8 GHz Spurious-Free Operation Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing Hermetically Sealed Module Typical Applications Field Replaceable SMA connectors The HMC-C059 Wideband LNA is ideal for: -55 C to +85 C Operating Temperature * Telecom Infrastructure * Microwave Radio & VSAT General Description * Military & Space The HMC-C059 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise Distributed Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with replaceable SMA connectors which operates between 1 and 12 GHz. The amplifier provides 16 dB of gain, 1.8 dB noise figure, and up to +17 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are internally 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. * Test Instrumentation * Industrial Sensors Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 C, +Vdc = +6V, -Vdc = -5V Parameter Min.
