SLNA-055-20-003-SMA

RF Amplifiers Overview

The SLNA-055-20-003-SMA is a medium power broadband RF amplifier manufactured by Fairview Microwave. It operates within a frequency range of 800 MHz to 5.5 GHz and features SMA connectors for input and output interfaces. The device provides a gain of 20 dB with a saturated output power (Psat) of 28 dBm. Key performance metrics include a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of 25 dBm and a third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 34 dBm. It requires a supply current of 750 mA for operation.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Broadband amplification capability across the 800 MHz to 5.5 GHz spectrum
• High linearity characterized by a 34 dBm OIP3
• Medium power output delivering up to 28 dBm saturated power

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Test and measurement instrumentation requiring stable broadband amplification
• Wireless communication systems operating in UHF and microwave bands
• Signal generation and processing circuits needing linear amplification

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version from Fairview Microwave before integration, as specifications may be updated. Confirm that the SMA connector polarity and mating dimensions match your system requirements. Ensure the power supply can deliver the required 750 mA continuously without voltage droop. Check for any regional distribution restrictions or compliance certifications relevant to your deployment location.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth covering 800 MHz to 5.5 GHz is necessary alongside moderate output power. It is suitable for applications prioritizing linearity over maximum efficiency. Compare against narrowband amplifiers if the operational frequency range is limited. Consider thermal management solutions given the 750 mA current draw and 28 dBm output capability.
