General Description
• Test Instrumentation
The HMC-C001 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Low Noise
Distributed Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module
with replaceable SMA connectors which operates
between 2 and 20 GHz. The self-biased amplifier
provides 15 dB of gain, 2 to 3 dB noise figure and
+14 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression
while requiring a single +12V supply. Gain flatness
is excellent from 2 - 18 GHz making the HMC-C001
ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test equipment appli-
cations. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally
matched to 50 Ohms and are internally DC blocked.
