General Description
The HMC-C021 is a GaAs MMIC pHEMT Distributed
Power Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable 2.92mm connectors which operates
between 21 and 31 GHz. The amplifier provides 15
dB of gain, 5 dB noise figure, +33 dBm output IP3
and up to +24 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain com-
pression. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally
matched to 50 Ohms and are DC blocked making
the HMC-C021 ideal for EW, ECM RADAR and test
equipment applications. Integrated voltage regula-
tors allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and
positive supply pins, while internal bias sequencing
circuitry assures robust operation.
