JS42-18002600-27-5P

Overview

The JS42-18002600-27-5P is an RF amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for operation within the 18GHz to 26GHz frequency range. This general-purpose integrated circuit provides a gain of 48dB with a P1dB output power of 5dBm and a noise figure of 2.7dB. The component requires a supply current of 300mA and is housed in a module package format.

Feature Summary

• Operates as a general-purpose RF amplifier across the 18GHz to 26GHz spectrum
• Delivers high signal amplification with 48dB gain capability
• Maintains low noise characteristics suitable for sensitive receiver applications

Applications

• Microwave communication systems
• Test and measurement equipment
• Electronic warfare subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from L3 Narda-MITEQ to confirm electrical tolerances and pinout configurations. Ensure compatibility with system voltage requirements given the 300mA supply current specification. Confirm that the module package type aligns with existing thermal management and mounting infrastructure in the target design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband microwave solution is required between 18GHz and 26GHz. The 48dB gain and 2.7dB noise figure make it suitable for intermediate frequency stages or low-noise amplification needs. Consider the module form factor for integration into larger RF assemblies where discrete component matching is undesirable.

Part Context

This part belongs to the JS series of RF amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ, which focuses on microwave and millimeter-wave solutions. The series typically offers robust performance for defense and aerospace applications. The JS42 variant specifically targets the K/Ka-band frequencies, providing standardized amplification for complex radar and communication architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official L3 Narda-MITEQ documentation for direct cross-references. Verify that any substitute maintains the 18-26GHz frequency coverage and matches the 48dB gain and 2.7dB noise figure specifications to ensure system integrity.
