HMC-C008
15 WATT POWER AMPLIFIER
MODULE, 1.8 - 2.2 GHz
v00.1204
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC-C008 is a 15 Watt Power Amplifi er
Module suitable for Cellular/3G repeaters, labora-
tory use and ATE applications. The unit includes
DC power sequencing, enable and conditioning,
as well as an output circulator for load mismatch
protection. Thermal protection/fault circuitry auto-
matically turns off DC power at base temperatures
exceeding +75 C and restores power at < +55 C.
P1dB Output Power: 15 Watts from 1.8 to 2.2 GH
Gain: 40 dB min
Noise Figure: 6 dB
Thermally Compensated and Protected
Reverse Polarity Protected
TTL DC Power Enable
Unconditionally Stable
Heat Sink/Fan Accessories Available
