Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes against official L3Harris or Narda-MITEQ documentation before procurement. Confirm that the specific revision matches the required performance specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA connector interfaces and +15 VDC power supplies. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project standards. Validate supplier authorization to guarantee component authenticity.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a fixed 20 dB gain and 3.0 dB noise figure are required for the 8-12 GHz spectrum. It is suitable for applications needing 20 dBm output power capability. Consider the module form factor and SMA interface requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the +15 VDC supply current consumption. Compare against other LNA series variants if different frequency ranges or gain levels are needed.
