AMF-4F-18002200-50-10P

Overview

The AMF-4F-18002200-50-10P is an RF amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for operation within the 18GHz to 22GHz frequency range. This component provides a nominal gain of 50dB with a typical noise figure of 5dB. It requires a supply current of 140mA and features a P1dB output power specification characteristic of its class. The device is housed in a box package configuration.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-gain amplification suitable for microwave frequency applications
• Engineered for low-noise performance in signal processing chains
• Integrated module design simplifies system integration

Applications

• GPS signal amplification systems
• Microwave communication links
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '10P' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and mechanical dimensions. Ensure that the required 140mA supply current is supported by the host circuit design. Cross-reference the 50dB gain specification with application requirements to prevent saturation or insufficient amplification in the target RF chain.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 50dB gain is required within the 18-22GHz band. Consider the 5dB noise figure impact on system sensitivity. Evaluate the 140mA power consumption against thermal management capabilities. Confirm compatibility with existing connector types and mounting hardware before finalizing the design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMF series of RF amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series typically covers various gain and frequency configurations. The AMF-4F variant specifically targets higher frequency microwave bands, distinguishing it from lower-frequency counterparts in the product line.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. Direct replacement requires matching the 18-22GHz frequency range, 50dB gain, and 140mA current specifications exactly.
