ZRL-2400LN+

Overview

The ZRL-2400LN+ is a connectorized low-noise linear amplifier from Mini-Circuits, operating within the 1000 MHz to 2400 MHz frequency range. It features SMA connectors and is designed for base station installation. Key electrical specifications include a typical gain of 28 dB, a noise figure of 1.2 dB, and a P1dB output power of 24 dBm. The device requires a 12V DC supply with a current consumption of 470 mA. It is classified as an RF amplifier suitable for cellular applications.

Feature Summary

• Provides high linearity and low noise performance for sensitive receiver front-ends
• Features a robust module construction with SMA connectors for reliable interconnection
• Designed for stable operation in cellular communication infrastructure environments

Applications

• Cellular base station receiver chains
• GSM and PCS system front-ends
• UMTS signal processing stages
