The HMC-C025 is a DC to 13 GHz 6-bit GaAs IC Digital Attenuator housed in a miniature hermetic module. This wideband attenuator features 4 dB typical insertion loss, +38 dBm input IP3, and bit values of 0.5 (LSB), 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 dB for a total attenuation of 31.5 dB. Attenuation accuracy is excellent with ±0.3 dB typical step error.Six control voltage inputs, toggled between 0 and +5V, are used to select each attenuation state. A single Vdc bias of -5V allows operation at frequencies down to DC. Removable SMA connectors can be detached to allow direct connection of the module’s I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.APPLICATIONSTelecom InfrastructureMicrowave Radio & VSATMilitary & SpaceTest Instrumentation

The HMC-C034 is a x2 active broadband frequency multiplier utilizing GaAs PHEMT technology in a miniature hermetic module. When driven by a 3 dBm signal, the multiplier provides +13 dBm typical output power from 32 to 46 GHz. The Fo isolation is >30 dBc with respect to output signal level. This frequency multiplier features DC blocked I/O’s, and is ideal for use in LO multiplier chains for Pt to Pt & VSAT Radios yielding reduced parts count vs. traditional approaches. The low additive SSB Phase Noise of -130 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset helps maintain good system noise performance.APPLICATIONSClock Generation Applications:SOWET OC-192 & SDH STM-64Point-to-Point & VSAT RadiosTest InstrumentationMilitary EW/RadarSpace

The HMC-C035 is a general purpose double-balanced mixer housed in a miniature hermetic module which can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 23 and 37 GHz.

The HMC-C053 is an absorptive voltage variable attenuator (VVA) operating from dc to 20 GHz. The HMC-C053 features a simple single voltage attenuation control, 0 V to −3 V. The device is ideal in designs where an analog dc control signal must control radio frequency (RF) signal levels over a 30 dB amplitude range. Its broad frequency range makes it an attractive choice for many applications, particularly those involved with automatic gain control (AGC) or temperature compensation of multiple gain stages, typically found in microwave radio or test instrumentation architecture. Removable SMA connectors can be detached to allow direct connection of the module input/output pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit.APPLICATIONSTelecom infrastructureMilitary radio, radar, and ECMSpace systemsTest instrumentation

The HMC-C072 is a GaAs HBT Ultra Low Noise Amplifier in a miniature, hermetic module designed to operate between 6 and 12 GHz. This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 11 dB of gain, 4.5 dB noise figure and up to 23 dB of output power with a single supply of +7V.
