LNA-20-00101200-19-10P

Overview

The LNA-20-00101200-19-10P is a low-noise amplifier manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for the 1 GHz to 12 GHz frequency range. It provides a nominal gain of 20 dB with a typical noise figure of 1.9 dB. The device delivers a P1dB output power of 10 dBm and operates on a single +15 VDC supply with a current draw of approximately 150 mA. Packaged in a module format with SMA connectors, it features 50 Ohm input and output impedance.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-wideband operation spanning 1 GHz to 12 GHz
• Low noise figure for high sensitivity applications
• Standard 50 Ohm impedance matching for easy integration
• Single positive voltage supply requirement

Applications

• VSAT satellite communication systems
• Radar receiver front ends
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Microwave radio links

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version when sourcing, as manufacturer specifications may be updated. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Ensure the +15V DC power supply meets the current rating of 150mA. Check for any environmental qualification data if operating in extreme conditions.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring wide bandwidth coverage from L-band through Ku-band. It is suitable where low noise performance is critical for weak signal detection. Consider the module form factor for board-level integration needs. Compare against narrower band alternatives if the full 1-12 GHz range is not required.

Part Context

This component belongs to the LNA series from L3 Narda-MITEQ, a provider of RF and microwave components. The brand was formed by merging MITEQ and L3's Narda Microwave-East operations. The company is known for robust military and commercial RF solutions, including amplifiers, switches, and attenuators.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other models within the LNA-20 series such as LNA-20-01000200-10-15P or LNA-20-04001200-17-10P, depending on the specific frequency band and noise figure requirements of the application.
