RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure exact electrical tolerances and connector types match your design requirements. Confirm that the 15V DC supply specifications align with your power management architecture. Check for any recent obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from L3Harris Narda-MITEQ before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when wideband coverage from 6 to 18 GHz is required alongside moderate noise figures suitable for VSAT links. Ensure the 300 mA current consumption fits within your thermal budget. Compare against lower-frequency variants if band requirements differ. Validate that the SMA connector interface is compatible with your existing RF interconnect infrastructure.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the LNA-20 series of low-noise amplifiers manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ (now part of L3Harris). The series is characterized by ruggedized modules intended for demanding RF environments. The numbering convention typically indicates gain, frequency range, and power handling capabilities within the product family structure.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

Consult the official L3 Narda-MITEQ substitution guide for direct equivalents. Potential alternatives may include other models within the LNA-20 series with adjusted frequency ranges or gain values. Verify pinout and thermal compatibility before swapping.
