HMC-C002
WIDEBAND LNA MODULE, 2 - 20 GHz
v00.1204
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C002 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT
Low Noise Distributed Amplifi er in a miniature,
hermetic module with replaceable SMA connec-
tors which operates between 2 and 20 GHz. The
self-biased amplifi er provides 13 dB of gain, 2 to
3 dB noise fi gure and up to +18 dBm of output
power at 1 dB gain compression while requiring
a single +12V supply. Gain fl atness is excellent
from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC-C002 ideal
for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment
applications. The wideband amplifi
er I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally DC blocked.
Noise Figure: 2 dB @ 8 GHz
Flat Gain: 13 dB 0.5 dB
P1dB Output Power: +18 dBm @ 8 GHz
50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
Regulated Supply and Bias Sequencing
Hermetically Sealed Module
Field Replaceable SMA connectors
-55 to +85C Operating Temperature
Typical Applications
The HMC-C002 Wideband LNA is ideal for:
