RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package configuration against the official Pasternack datasheet before purchase. Confirm that the supply voltage requirements align with your system design. Ensure compatibility with SMA connector interfaces. Check for any recent product change notices or obsolescence updates directly from the manufacturer documentation prior to procurement.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth up to 3 GHz is required alongside low noise performance. The 16 dB gain suits applications needing moderate signal boosting without excessive power consumption. Consider the 14V to 16V supply requirement during power budget planning. Evaluate the 47 mA current draw against available power resources in the target enclosure.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the Pasternack broadband amplifiers series, specifically categorized under RF modules for wireless applications. It is distinct from other Pasternack models by its specific 0.01 MHz to 3 GHz coverage and 16 dB gain profile. The module form factor with SMA connectors differentiates it from surface-mount alternatives.
