LNA-20-02000600-10-10P

Overview

The LNA-20-02000600-10-10P is a low-noise amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for VSAT applications. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 6 GHz. The device provides a nominal gain of 20 dB with a noise figure of 1 dB. It delivers a P1dB output power of 10 dBm and requires a 15 V DC supply voltage. The unit draws approximately 150 mA of current. It features SMA connectors and is housed in a shielded module package.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-low noise figure of 1 dB for high-sensitivity signal reception
• Standard 50 Ohm input and output impedance matching
• Integrated internal voltage regulation for stable operation
• Unconditional stability across various load conditions

Applications

• VSAT satellite communication ground station receivers
• Satellite navigation receiver front-ends (GPS/GLONASS/Galileo)
• Microwave radio link receiving chains
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '10-10P' against the official datasheet to confirm the exact gain, noise, and power specifications. Ensure the required supply voltage matches the 15 V DC requirement. Confirm that the SMA connector type aligns with system interface needs. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Validate the operating temperature range against the intended deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 dB noise figure is critical for system sensitivity in the 2-6 GHz band. It is suitable for designs requiring 20 dB gain with moderate linearity (10 dBm P1dB). Consider the module form factor for ease of integration into existing RF chains. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 150 mA current draw and expected ambient temperatures.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LNA-20 series from L3 Narda-MITEQ, which specializes in ruggedized RF amplifiers for defense and commercial aerospace. The series typically offers hermetic or non-hermetic options for harsh environments. This specific model targets the C-band and lower Ku-band frequencies commonly used in satellite communications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to proprietary design. Verify compatibility with alternative Narda-MITEQ models such as LNA-20-02000400-25-20P or LNA-20-02000600-30-20P by comparing electrical parameters. Cross-reference with other manufacturers only if pinout and impedance match exactly.
