HMC-C037
WIDEBAND POWER AMPLIFIER
BENCHTOP MODULE, 0.01 - 15 GHz
v03.0509
Functional Diagram
Electrical Speci cations, TA = +25° C, +Vdc = +11V to +16V, -Vdc = -3V to -12V
Typical Applications
The HMC-C037 Wideband PA is ideal for:
• Lab Instrumentation
• Test Equipment
General Description
The HMC-C037 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power
Ampli er in a benchtop, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors and integral heatsink
which operates between 0.01 GHz and 15 GHz.
The ampli er provides 12 dB of gain, up to +37 dBm
output IP3 and up to +28 dBm of output power at 1
dB gain compression. Gain atness is excellent at
±0.3 dB from 2 - 12 GHz making the HMC-C037 ideal
for general purpose lab instrumentation applications.
The wideband ampli er I/Os are internally matched
to 50 Ohms and are 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.
