AMF-1F-06001200-35-5P

Overview

The AMF-1F-06001200-35-5P is a GPS L-band amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ. It operates within the frequency range of 1.2 GHz to 1.8 GHz, designed for global positioning system applications. The device provides a nominal gain of 35 dB with a typical noise figure of 3.5 dB. It requires a single positive supply voltage of +15 V and draws a maximum current of 150 mA. The unit is housed in a compact surface-mount module package suitable for integration into receiver front-ends.

Feature Summary

• Integrated low-noise amplification optimized for GPS signal processing
• Compact surface-mount module design for space-constrained assemblies
• Single positive voltage supply operation simplifying power management

Applications

• GPS receiver front-end modules
• Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers
• Positioning and timing equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '35' indicates the 35 dB gain variant when sourcing replacements. Confirm that the required operating environment matches the module's specified temperature range. Ensure the PCB layout supports the thermal requirements for continuous operation at the stated current draw. Cross-reference the pinout with the official datasheet to prevent interface mismatches during installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated L-band amplifier is required for GPS frequencies between 1.2 GHz and 1.8 GHz. The 35 dB gain and 3.5 dB noise figure make it suitable for sensitive receiving applications. Consider the +15 V supply requirement and 150 mA current consumption for power budget calculations. The module format is appropriate for direct board integration without additional discrete components.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMF series of RF amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series includes various models tailored for different frequency bands and gain requirements. The AMF-1F designation typically refers to L-band modules. These amplifiers are engineered for high reliability in defense and aerospace applications, offering consistent performance across the specified operational bandwidth.

Replacement Considerations
