HMC-C004
WIDEBAND DRIVER AMPLIFER
10 MHz - 20 GHz
v00.1204
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C004 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT
Distributed Driver Amplifi
er in a miniature,
hermetic module with replaceable SMA connec-
tors which operates between 10 MHz and 20
GHz. The self-biased amplifi er provides 15 dB
of gain, 3 to 4 dB noise fi gure and +24 dBm of
saturated output power while requiring a single
+12V supply. Gain fl atness is excellent at 0.5
dB as well as 2 deg deviation from linear phase
from 0.01 to 10 GHz making the HMC-C004
ideal for OC192 fi ber optic LN/MZ modulator
driver applications. The wideband amplifi er I/Os
are internally matched to 50 Ohms and are
internally DC blocked.
Gain: 15 dB
+24 dBm Saturated Output Power
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-C004 Wideband Driver is ideal for:
OC192 LN/MZ Modulator Driver
