Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official L3 Narda-MITEQ documentation to ensure exact electrical matching. Confirm RoHS compliance status and date codes upon receipt. Cross-reference pinouts and thermal requirements with the host system design. Request updated datasheets directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to validate current production status and any potential obsolescence notices before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide frequency coverage up to 20 GHz is required alongside moderate output power. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 15 dBm output specification. Ensure the host circuitry supports the 40 dB gain level without instability. Compare alternative modules within the AMF series if different gain or power levels better suit the specific application constraints.
