Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as historical records indicate transitions between L3Harris Technologies and J.F. Lehman & Company regarding the Narda-MITEQ business unit. Ensure the component matches the current active status and confirm connector types and pinouts against the official datasheet before integration. Cross-reference ordering suffixes to guarantee compatibility with existing system interfaces.

Selection Notes

Select this module when a fixed 30 dB gain is required for the 18-26.5 GHz band. Consider the 10 dBm P1dB limit for linearity requirements in your link budget. Evaluate thermal management needs given the operating temperature range. Compare against other LNA series variants if different gain or bandwidth specifications are necessary for the specific application architecture.

Part Context

This component belongs to the LNA series of low-noise amplifiers from L3 Narda-MITEQ. The series includes various models tailored for different frequency ranges and gain levels, such as the LNA-30-08001800-32-20P. These modules are characterized by their reliability and use in military and commercial microwave applications, often featuring SMA connectors and standardized DC biasing requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the LNA-30-18002650-50-20P, which shares the same frequency range but offers higher output power capabilities. Verify mechanical footprint and electrical parameters before swapping components to ensure system integrity.
