LNA-20-01000200-10-15P

Overview

The LNA-20-01000200-10-15P is a low-noise amplifier manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for the L-band frequency range of 1.0 to 2.0 GHz. It provides a minimum gain of 20 dB with a noise figure of 1.0 dB. The device delivers a P1dB output power of +15 dBm and operates on a +15 VDC supply voltage. Input and output impedance are standardized at 50 Ω, with a VSWR of 2:1. Typical operating current is 225 mA. The unit features an SMA connector module package and supports a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to +85 °C.

Feature Summary

• Unconditional stability across various load conditions
• Standard 50Ω input/output port matching for easy integration
• Internal DC voltage regulation for stable power management

Applications

• VSAT satellite communication ground station receive links
• Satellite navigation receiver front-ends (GPS/Beidou/GLONASS)
• Radar receiver echo signal pre-amplification

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as L3 Narda-MITEQ or Amphenol Narda-MITEQ when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required for specific environmental regulations. Ensure the SMA connector type matches system interface requirements. Validate the +15 VDC supply specification against available power infrastructure. Check for optional hermetic packaging availability if deployment involves harsh environments.

Selection Notes

Select this component for L-band applications requiring high sensitivity and moderate output power. The 1.0 dB noise figure makes it suitable for weak signal reception scenarios. The 20 dB gain provides sufficient amplification for many front-end architectures. Consider the +15 VDC requirement for power budget calculations. The 50 Ω impedance ensures compatibility with standard RF transmission lines without additional matching networks.
