LNA-40-12001800-20-15P

Overview

The LNA-40-12001800-20-15P is a low noise amplifier module from the L3 Narda-MITEQ LNA series. It operates within a frequency range of 12 GHz to 18 GHz. The device provides a gain of 40 dB and features a noise figure of 2 dB. It delivers a P1dB output power of 15 dBm. The unit requires a 15 V DC supply voltage and draws a current of 200 mA. It utilizes SMA connectors for signal interfacing.

Feature Summary

• Provides high gain amplification with a 40 dB specification for signal boosting applications.
• Maintains a low noise figure of 2 dB to preserve signal integrity in sensitive receiver chains.
• Operates as a dedicated module designed for VSAT system integration.

Applications

• VSAT communication systems
• Microwave point-to-point links
• Satellite ground station receivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as historical records indicate transitions between L3 Narda-MITEQ, Amphenol/Narda-MITEQ, and independent entities following corporate divestitures. Confirm that the component matches the original technical specifications rather than generic family templates. Ensure compatibility with existing SMA connector interfaces and 15 V DC power requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a 12 GHz to 18 GHz operating band is required. The 40 dB gain and 2 dB noise figure make it suitable for applications demanding high sensitivity. Verify that the 15 dBm P1dB output power meets the dynamic range needs of the downstream components. Ensure the system design accommodates the 200 mA current draw at 15 V DC.
