LNA-20-00100400-15-15P

Overview

The LNA-20-00100400-15-15P is a low-noise amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for VSAT applications. It operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 4 GHz. The device provides a nominal gain of 20 dB and maintains a noise figure of 1.5 dB. It delivers an output power at the 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 15 dBm. The unit requires a 15 V DC supply voltage and draws a current of 300 mA. It features SMA connectors for signal interfacing.

Feature Summary

• Provides low-noise amplification suitable for satellite communication systems
• Operates across UHF to S-band frequencies
• Delivers high linearity with specified P1dB performance

Applications

• VSAT uplink and downlink chains
• Satellite communication ground stations
• UHF and S-band receiver front ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '15-15P' against official L3 Narda-MITEQ documentation to confirm connector types and mounting specifications. Ensure that the required 15 V DC supply and 300 mA current capacity are supported by the system design before integration. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal management requirements associated with the 15 dBm output power level.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 dB gain and 1.5 dB noise figure are required within the 100 MHz to 4 GHz band. It is appropriate for designs needing 15 dBm output power in VSAT or satellite infrastructure. Compare against other LNA series variants if different frequency ranges or higher output power levels such as +20 dBm or +25 dBm are necessary for the specific application architecture.

Part Context

This part belongs to the L3 Narda-MITEQ LNA series of low-noise amplifiers. The series covers various frequency bands from UHF to Ka-band with output powers ranging from +10 dBm to +25 dBm. This specific model targets the lower end of the spectrum with moderate output power, distinguishing it from higher-frequency or higher-power variants like the LNA-30 series.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the L3 Narda-MITEQ portfolio, such as the LNA-20-00100400-15-10P, which shares similar electrical parameters but may differ in package or connector configuration. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substituting.
