GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC-C074 is a single stage power amplifier that operates
between 10 MHz and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides 13 dB of
gain, 40 dBm output IP3, and 29 dBm of output power at 1 dB
gain compression while only consuming 450 mA from a 15 V
supply.
The ±0.75 dB gain flatness is excellent from 10 MHz to 6 GHz,
making the HMC-C074 ideal for EW, ECM, radar, and test
equipment applications.
The amplifier inputs/outputs are dc blocked and internally
matched to 50 Ω. Integrated voltage regulators allow for flexible
biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins, while
internal bias sequencing and active bias control allows for
robust operation and stable performance over temperature.
