HMC-C002
v05.0512
WIDEBAND LNA MODULE
2 - 20 GHz
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C002 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Low Noise
Distributed Amplier in a miniature, hermetic module
with replaceable SMA connectors which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplier
provides 13 dB of gain, 2 to 3 dB noise gure and up
to +18 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression
while requiring a single +12V supply. Gain atness
is excellent from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC-C002
ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment appli-
cations. The wideband amplier I/Os are internally
matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked.
Noise Figure: 2 dB @ 8 GHz
