• Delivers high output power capability with a 1 dB compression point of 10 dBm.
• Integrates low-noise performance suitable for sensitive receiver front-end stages.

RF Amplifiers Applications

• GPS signal processing systems
• Satellite communication uplinks and downlinks
• Electronic warfare and signal intelligence receivers

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct pinout, connector type, and environmental rating. Confirm that the 15V supply requirements align with system power constraints. Request updated datasheets directly from L3 Narda-MITEQ or authorized distributors to validate current production status and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this module when a wide bandwidth covering C, X, Ku, and K bands is required in a compact form factor. The 24 dB gain and 10 dBm P1dB balance linearity and amplification needs for mid-range signal chains. Ensure the system can accommodate the 100 mA DC current draw and 15V supply requirement. Consider thermal management solutions appropriate for module-level packaging in enclosed environments.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This component belongs to the AFS3 series of monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) based modules from L3 Narda-MITEQ. These modules are designed to offer plug-and-play functionality for RF engineers, eliminating the need for discrete component matching networks. The series typically features SMA connectors and robust metal housing for shielding and heat dissipation.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Users should consult L3 Narda-MITEQ technical support for direct cross-references or evaluate alternative wideband amplifiers with similar 6-18 GHz coverage and 10 dBm output power specifications.
