LNA-30-08001800-32-20P

Overview

The LNA-30-08001800-32-20P is a low noise amplifier module from the L3 Narda-MITEQ LNA series, designed for VSAT applications. It operates within a frequency range of 8 GHz to 18 GHz. The device provides a nominal gain of 30 dB and maintains a typical noise figure of 3.2 dB. It supports an output power level of 20 dBm. The unit requires a 15 VDC supply voltage and utilizes SMA connectors for signal interfacing.

Feature Summary

• Low noise amplification optimized for satellite communication systems
• Integrated module design with SMA connector interfaces
• Wideband operation covering C-band and Ku-band frequencies

Applications

• VSAT uplink and downlink signal conditioning
• Satellite communication receiver front-ends
• Microwave radio relay systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to ensure compatibility with required interface standards and mounting configurations. Confirm that the 15 VDC power requirement aligns with system power budgets. Check for any recent revisions to the LNA-30 series specifications that may affect performance parameters or physical dimensions before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 dB gain and 3.2 dB noise figure are required within the 8-18 GHz band. Ensure the system can accommodate the 20 dBm output power capability and 15 VDC supply voltage. Compare against other LNA-30 variants if different frequency ranges or power levels are needed. Verify mechanical fit for SMA connector mounting in the intended chassis or PCB layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LNA-30 series of low noise amplifiers manufactured by Amphenol/Narda-MITEQ. The series offers various frequency bands and power levels, typically ranging from +10 dBm to +25 mW output. These modules are engineered for high reliability in RF signal processing applications, particularly where low noise performance is critical for maintaining signal integrity in satellite and microwave links.

Replacement Considerations

The LNA-40-08001800-32-20P is a related variant offering 40 dB gain instead of 30 dB. Other LNA-30 models cover different frequency ranges such as 4-12 GHz or 1-8 GHz. Verify pinout and connector compatibility when substituting with other series members.
