Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision suffix and connector orientation against the official datasheet before ordering. Confirm that the 15V DC supply requirements align with your system power architecture. Ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your procurement standards. Validate SMA connector gender and mating compatibility with existing cabling infrastructure.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 30 dB gain is required across the 8 to 12 GHz band. Consider this module for applications needing a 3 dB noise figure to preserve signal integrity. Choose this part if SMA connectivity is mandated by the system interface design. Evaluate the 20 dBm output capability against downstream component input limits. Assess the module form factor against available chassis space constraints.

Part Context

This model belongs to the LNA series of low noise amplifiers produced by L3 Narda-MITEQ, now part of L3Harris Technologies.
