LNA-30-08001800-40-25P

Overview

The LNA-30-08001800-40-25P is a low noise amplifier module from the LNA series, manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ. It operates within a frequency range of 8 GHz to 18 GHz and provides a nominal gain of 30 dB. The device features a noise figure of 4.0 dB and supports an output power level of 25 dBm at the P1dB compression point. It requires a 15 V DC supply voltage and draws a typical current of 500 mA. The component utilizes SMA connectors for signal interfacing and is designed for VSAT applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-gain amplification in the Ku-band frequency spectrum
• Engineered for very small aperture terminal (VSAT) communication systems
• Utilizes connector-mounted module packaging for integration

Applications

• VSAT uplink and downlink signal conditioning
• Satellite communication receiver front-ends
• Microwave radio link amplification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to ensure correct performance specifications. Confirm that the required SMA connector interface matches the system design requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment. Ensure the 15V DC power supply capability aligns with the available infrastructure before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 30 dB gain is required across the 8 to 18 GHz band. Consider the 4.0 dB noise figure for sensitivity-critical receiver stages. Verify that the 25 dBm output power meets the dynamic range needs of the subsequent stage. Ensure the physical module form factor fits the available chassis or board space constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LNA series of low noise amplifiers produced by L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series offers various configurations tailored for different frequency bands and gain requirements. This specific model targets the 8-18 GHz range, distinguishing it from lower frequency variants like the 4-12 GHz models or higher frequency options within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Evaluate other LNA-30 series models with compatible frequency ranges and gain levels. Cross-reference pinouts and connector types to ensure mechanical compatibility during replacement.
