Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required connector types and mounting configurations. Confirm that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the intended deployment site. Check for any recent revisions to the part number that may indicate updated performance specifications or material compositions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband amplification solution is required for the X-band and K-band frequencies. Ensure the system can accommodate the +15 VDC power requirement and the associated current draw. Consider the module form factor for integration into existing chassis designs. Verify that the 15 dBm output power aligns with the dynamic range needs of subsequent stages in the signal chain.

Part Context

This model belongs to the LNA-30 series of low noise amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series is characterized by high reliability and performance in demanding RF applications.
