• Satellite navigation receiver front-ends (GPS/GLONASS)
• Microwave radio relay systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure compatibility with system requirements. Confirm that the SMA connector orientation and module dimensions match the mechanical design constraints. Validate that the 15V DC supply specifications align with the available power infrastructure before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 dB gain and 1.5 dB noise figure are required within the 2–6 GHz spectrum. Consider the 15 dBm P1dB limit for linearity requirements. Ensure the system can provide a stable 15V DC source with sufficient current capacity. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the module's power dissipation characteristics in the intended enclosure.
