LNA-30-00100800-20-15P

Overview

The LNA-30-00100800-20-15P is a low-noise amplifier from the L3 Narda-MITEQ LNA-30 series, designed for VSAT and RF applications. It operates within a frequency range of 100 MHz to 8 GHz. The device provides a minimum gain of 30 dB with a typical noise figure of 2 dB. Key electrical specifications include a P1dB output power of 15 dBm and an input/output VSWR of 2:1. It requires a +15 VDC supply voltage and draws a typical operating current of 300 mA. The unit features SMA connectors and is housed in a module package.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-gain amplification suitable for weak signal reception in satellite communication systems.
• Features standard 50-ohm impedance matching at input and output ports for easy system integration.
• Includes internal voltage regulation to ensure stable DC power management during operation.

Applications

• VSAT satellite communication ground station receiver front-ends
• RF and microwave link signal conditioning
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm exact performance tolerances and connector types. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required frequency range and power specifications for your application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity. Check for any environmental or packaging options if harsh conditions are anticipated.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering 100 MHz to 8 GHz is required alongside moderate noise performance. Consider the 30 dB gain and 15 dBm linear output power for systems needing significant signal boosting without immediate compression. Evaluate the +15 VDC supply requirement and 300 mA current draw against available power resources. Compare against other LNA-30 series models if different gain or noise figure characteristics are needed.

Part Context

This model belongs to the LNA-30 series by L3 Narda-MITEQ, a line of ruggedized low-noise amplifiers. The series is known for providing reliable performance in demanding RF environments. These amplifiers are typically used as critical components in the receive chain of communication systems where signal integrity and low noise are paramount for overall system sensitivity.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official L3 Narda-MITEQ documentation for direct cross-references. Other models in the LNA-30 series may offer alternative gain or noise figures but might differ in frequency coverage or power handling capabilities. Verify pinout and connector compatibility before substituting with similar products from other manufacturers.
