HD30405 documentation
About HD30405
HD30405 covers 2.0–6.0 GHz with instantaneous bandwidth. The electrical table uses 25°C and 28 VDC test conditions.
Its CW saturated output is 10 W minimum / 15 W typical. Output at P1 dB is 8 W typical. These are different operating points.
The operating voltage is 28–30 VDC, with 3.4 A typical consumption at rated output. An external heatsink with forced-air cooling is required. Operating case temperature is −20 to +75°C.
The 9-pin D-Sub provides current sensing (100 mV / 100 mA typical), temperature sensing (10 mV/°C + 500 mV typical), and shutdown control. TTL high or open enables; TTL low or short disables. Forward monitoring (101) and reverse monitoring (102) are optional.
The module is 156.4 × 69 × 27 mm excluding connectors, weighs 570 g, and uses SMA female RF connectors and a 9-pin D-Sub DC/interface connector.
The datasheet specifies +8 dBm maximum input for less than 10 seconds without damage and ∞:1 load VSWR for less than 1 minute at rated output. These time limits do not permit continuous overdrive or mismatch.
