• Microwave Radio & VSAT
• Military & Space
• Test Instrumentation
• Fiber Optics
General Description
The HMC6980 is a GaAs MMIC PHEMT Power
Amplier in a miniature, hermetic module with
replaceable SMA connectors which operates bet-
ween 0.01 GHz and 20 GHz. The amplier 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 atness is excellent from 2 - 18 GHz making
the HMC6980 ideal for EW, ECM, Radar, Fiber Optic
and test equipment applications. The wideband
amplier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and
are DC blocked. Integrated voltage regulators allow
for exible biasing of both the negative and positive
supply pins, while internal bias sequencing circuitry
assures robust operation.
