LNA-20-02001800-25-10P

Overview

The LNA-20-02001800-25-10P 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 18 GHz. The device provides a typical gain of 20 dB and maintains a noise figure of 2.5 dB. It delivers a P1dB output power of 10 dBm. The unit requires a 15 V DC supply voltage and draws a current of 225 mA. It features SMA connectors and is housed in a module package.

Feature Summary

• Provides stable amplification across the 2 GHz to 18 GHz frequency band
• Features low noise figure for sensitive signal reception
• Includes internal voltage regulation for stable operation
• Offers standard 50 Ohm input and output impedance matching

Applications

• VSAT satellite communication ground station receivers
• RF and microwave link front-end amplification
• Satellite navigation receiver front-ends
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '10P' against official L3Harris or Narda-MITEQ documentation to confirm pinout and connector configuration. Ensure the required 15V DC supply matches system capabilities. Confirm SMA connector gender and mounting style requirements for integration. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Validate operating temperature range suitability for the intended environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband 2-18 GHz coverage is required with moderate gain. Consider the 2.5 dB noise figure for sensitivity-critical links. Evaluate the 10 dBm output power limit against downstream stage requirements. Compare power consumption of 225 mA at 15V with thermal constraints. Assess module form factor compatibility with existing chassis designs.
