LNA-40-08001800-40-25P

Overview

The LNA-40-08001800-40-25P is a low noise amplifier module manufactured by L3 Narda-MITEQ, designed for VSAT applications. It operates within a frequency range of 8 GHz to 18 GHz. The device provides a gain of 40 dB with a P1dB output power of 25 dBm and a noise figure of 4 dB. It requires a supply voltage of 15 VDC and draws a supply current of 650 mA. The unit features SMA connectors and utilizes connector mount installation.

Feature Summary

• Provides high gain amplification in the Ku-band frequency spectrum
• Engineered specifically for Very Small Aperture Terminal systems
• Utilizes SMA connector interfaces for signal transmission

Applications

• VSAT communication uplink and downlink chains
• Satellite ground station receiver front ends
• Microwave radio relay systems requiring Ku-band amplification

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number suffix matches the required performance specifications, particularly regarding the 25 dBm output power level and 40 dB gain. Confirm compatibility with the 15 VDC supply voltage and 650 mA current draw requirements of the host system. Ensure the SMA connector type aligns with existing cabling infrastructure. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the deployment environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated low noise amplifier is needed for the 8 to 18 GHz band. It is suitable for designs prioritizing high linearity and moderate output power in satellite communications. Consider the physical module form factor and SMA interface constraints during PCB or chassis layout. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 650 mA supply current consumption at 15 VDC.
