• Military & Space
• Test Instrumentation
• Fiber Optics
Field Replaceable SMA connectors
0 to +85˚C Operating Temperature
General Description
The HMC-C057 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power
Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors which operates bet-
ween 0.01 GHz and 20 GHz. The amplifier provides
12 dB of gain, up to +36 dBm output IP3 and up to
+28 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain compression.
Gain flatness is excellent from 2 - 18 GHz making
the HMC-C057 ideal for EW, ECM, Radar, Fiber
Optic and test equipment applications. The wideband
amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and
are DC blocked. Integrated voltage regulators allow
for flexible biasing of both the negative and positive
supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry
assures robust operation.
