Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number against official L3Harris or Amphenol Narda-MITEQ documentation to confirm electrical parameters and pinout compatibility. Ensure that the ordering suffix matches the required connector type and packaging configuration. Cross-reference the manufacturer's current product status to confirm availability and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband amplification solution covering 100 MHz to 4 GHz is required. Consider its 20 dBm P1dB output capability for driving subsequent stages without significant distortion. Evaluate the 3 dB noise figure against system sensitivity requirements. Confirm that the +15 VDC supply voltage aligns with the available power infrastructure in the target application.

Part Context

This model belongs to the LNA-20 series of low-noise amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series is characterized by high reliability and performance in satellite communications. Similar models in the family may vary in frequency range, gain, or output power specifications while maintaining the same modular form factor and interface standards.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other LNA-20 series variants such as LNA-20-00100400-15-15P or LNA-20-02000400-25-20P, provided their specific frequency and power parameters meet the design requirements. Verify functional equivalence through detailed datasheet comparison.
