Power amplifiers handle 10MHz to 15GHz
frequencies
The HMC-C037 features an integrated heat sink for ease of use in a lab environment, while the HMC-C036 is supplied in a miniature hermetic module.
Link Microtek has released two MMIC-based connectorised power amplifier modules that are ideal for broadband instrumentation, test equipment and communications applications Manufactured by Hittite Microwave Corporation, the HMC-C037 and HMC-C036 are GaAs PHEMT 0.5W power amplifiers designed to operate over a frequency range of 10MHz to 15GHz

Now available from Link Microtek is a new range of low-cost, plastic-packaged MMIC voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) that feature a high level of integrated functionality.
The two devices have identical electrical specifications.
The primary difference between them being that the HMC-C037 features an integrated heat sink for ease of use in a lab environment, while the HMC-C036 is supplied in a miniature hermetic module, which allows customers the flexibility to specify a mechanical interface to suit the requirements of their particular system.
These power amplifiers typically deliver a flat 12dB gain up to 12GHz, up to +37dBm output IP3 and up to +28dBm of output power at 1dB compression.
Gain flatness is +/-0.3dB from 2 to 15GHz and the saturated output power is 0.5W up to 15GHz.
Both devices feature integrated voltage regulators to allow for flexible biasing of both the negative and positive supply pins, while the internal bias sequencing circuitry assures robust operation.
Operating temperature range is specified as 0 to +85C.
