LNA-40-12002600-50-25P

Overview

The LNA-40-12002600-50-25P is a low-noise amplifier module from the L3 Narda-MITEQ LNA series, designed for VSAT applications. It operates within a frequency range of 12 GHz to 26 GHz. The device provides a nominal gain of 40 dB with a noise figure of 5 dB. It delivers a P1dB output power of 25 dBm and requires a 15 V DC supply voltage. Typical supply current is not explicitly defined in the provided snippets but is consistent with the series. The unit is housed in a module package equipped with SMA connectors.

Feature Summary

• Optimized for VSAT satellite communication systems
• High gain performance across Ku/Ka band frequencies
• Standard SMA connector interface for integration

Applications

• VSAT satellite ground station receivers
• Satellite communication uplink/downlink chains
• Microwave radio relay systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for complete electrical characteristics including S-parameters and thermal resistance. Confirm that the SMA connector type matches system requirements. Ensure the 15V power supply meets the current consumption specifications listed in the official manufacturer documentation before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-gain, moderate-noise-figure amplifier is required for the 12-26 GHz range. Compare against lower-noise options if sensitivity is critical, or higher-power variants if linearity limits are exceeded. Verify mechanical compatibility with existing SMA-based RF layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LNA series by L3 Narda-MITEQ, now part of L3Harris Technologies. The series offers various frequency bands and gain configurations. This specific model targets the higher frequency end of the C/Ku/Ka bands, distinguishing it from lower-frequency L-band or S-band LNAs in the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed in the source material. Cross-reference with other L3 Narda-MITEQ models in the LNA series for similar frequency ranges (e.g., LNA-40-xxxxxx-xx-xxP) if pinout and connector compatibility allow.
