Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout and connector type compatibility. Ensure the supply voltage and current draw align with the system power budget. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Check for any recent design changes or obsolescence notices from the manufacturer before final procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when operating frequencies fall between 6 GHz and 18 GHz. Choose based on the requirement for 30 dB gain and 2.5 dB noise figure. Consider the 15 VDC supply constraint and 350 mA current consumption. Evaluate thermal management needs for the module package in the intended enclosure environment.
