GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HMC-C075 is a two-stage power amplifier module that
operates between 10 MHz and 6 GHz. The amplifier provides
25 dB of gain, 42 dBm of output IP3, and 29 dBm of output power
at 1 dB gain compression, while consuming only 740 mA from
a 15 V supply.
The amplifier inputs/outputs (I/Os) are dc blocked and
internally matched to 50 Ω. Integrated voltage regulators allow
flexible biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins,
while internal bias sequencing and active bias control allows
robust operation and stable performance over temperature.
The HMC-C075 is ideal for EW, ECM, radar, and test
equipment applications

THEORY OF OPERATION
The HMC-C075 package contains four mounting locations for
screws to secure the amplifier package in dynamic applications
and for thermal contact. Attach the amplifier to a heat sink of a
suitable size such that, during operation, the backside case temperature never exceeds 70°C. Operation of the device at backside
case temperatures greater than 70°C results in reduced life of
the device.
Prior to applying dc voltages, terminate both the RF input and
the RF output to 50 Ω. Never disconnect the RF output when dc
voltages are applied to the device.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The HMC-C075 is a connectorized amplifier module designed
with two stage amplifiers to deliver 29 dBm of typical power
with a 25 dB gain from 0.01 GHz to 6 GHz. The bias of the internal
amplifiers is supplied by 15 V and −5 V dc sources that power
internal voltage regulators. The HMC-C075 features built-in
bias sequencing and active bias control to prevent damage to
the amplifiers and to maintain stable gain over temperature.
The HMC-C075 is built in a miniature module with SMA
connectors for RF input and output, and robust feedthroughs
for bias and ground return.
To turn on the amplifier, complete the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Verify that the dc connections are correct.
Verify that the RF input power is off.
Apply –V DC to the supply pin.
Apply +V DC to the supply pin.
Apply the RF input, ensuring that the power level is
correct.
To turn off the amplifier, complete the following steps:
