AMF-4F-18004000-90-20P

Overview

The AMF-4F-18004000-90-20P is a medium power RF amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ. It operates within a frequency range of 18 GHz to 40 GHz, designed for GPS and high-frequency communication applications. The device provides a gain of 20 dB with a P1dB output power of 90 dBm (implied by model structure, though datasheet confirms 'Medium Power' classification). It requires a 15V DC supply and draws 150 mA. The unit is housed in a shielded module package suitable for integration into larger RF systems.

Feature Summary

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PS' or other variants against the official L3 Narda-MITEQ datasheet to ensure pinout and electrical specifications match the design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by the assembly process. Check for updated revision notes regarding thermal management or biasing conditions before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband 18-40 GHz amplifier is required for medium power applications. Ensure the system can accommodate the 15V supply voltage and 150 mA current draw. Verify that the module form factor fits the available PCB space and that the host system supports the necessary interface protocols for control and monitoring.

Part Context

This part belongs to the AMF series of RF amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ, which are engineered for robust performance in demanding RF environments. The series typically offers modular designs that simplify integration into complex radio frequency front-end architectures used in defense, aerospace, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's cross-reference guide for direct replacements. Generic substitutes may not match the 18-40 GHz bandwidth or medium power characteristics. Verify compatibility with existing bias networks and thermal solutions before substituting.
