LNA-20-08001800-32-20P

Overview

The LNA-20-08001800-32-20P is a low noise amplifier module from the LNA series, manufactured by Amphenol Narda-MITEQ. It operates within a frequency range of 8 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a gain of 20 dB with a noise figure of 3.2 dB. The device supports a P1dB output power of 20 dBm and requires a 15 V DC supply voltage, drawing approximately 300 mA. It functions reliably across an operational temperature range of -55°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Designed for VSAT applications requiring stable RF amplification
• Provides high linearity with 20 dBm output power capability
• Operates in extreme environmental conditions from -55°C to +85°C

Applications

• VSAT communication systems
• Satellite ground station uplinks
• Microwave relay links

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official Amphenol Narda-MITEQ documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required electrical specifications, as variations may exist within the product family. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your deployment. Ensure the supply voltage and current requirements align with your system's power budget before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 20 dB gain and 3.2 dB noise figure are required in the 8-18 GHz band. It is suitable for VSAT architectures where moderate output power of 20 dBm is sufficient. Consider the 15V supply requirement and thermal management needs for the -55°C to +85°C operating range during system design.

Part Context

This module belongs to the LNA series of low noise amplifiers produced by Amphenol Narda-MITEQ. It is categorized under signal conditioning components, specifically RF amplifiers. The part is designed for robust performance in demanding RF environments, serving as a critical element in satellite communication infrastructure.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for compatible modules within the LNA series. Verify that any alternative part maintains the 8-18 GHz frequency range, 20 dB gain, and 15V supply compatibility. Cross-reference pinouts and mechanical dimensions to ensure physical interchangeability without circuit modification.
