ZVA-02303HP+

Overview

The ZVA-02303HP+ is a coaxial, medium power, wideband amplifier manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 2 GHz to 30 GHz and features a 50-ohm impedance. The device utilizes a single positive DC supply voltage ranging from +10V to +15V. Key electrical specifications include a typical gain of 38 dB and a noise figure of 3.8 dB. The amplifier requires a DC supply capable of sourcing at least 800 mA during startup. Maximum operating current is defined at saturated output conditions with an input power of up to 0 dBm.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial construction for reliable RF performance
• Wideband operation covering 2 GHz to 30 GHz
• High gain characteristics suitable for signal amplification
• Single positive DC supply requirement

Applications

• 5G infrastructure systems
• Satellite communication (SATCOM) links
• Test and measurement instrumentation
• Microwave point-to-point radio systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation (+) to ensure compliance with RoHS standards as indicated by the manufacturer's nomenclature. Confirm that the DC power supply circuit can deliver the required startup current of 800 mA to prevent operational failure. Ensure the system impedance matches the 50-ohm specification of the component. Cross-reference the datasheet for thermal management requirements associated with the T2704 case style.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide bandwidth extending to 30 GHz is required alongside high gain. The ZVA-02303HP+ differs from similar models like the ZVA-0.5W303G+, which covers a lower frequency range starting from 10 MHz. Consider the single-supply architecture for simplified power design. Evaluate the 3.8 dB noise figure against system sensitivity requirements. The 2.92mm connector interface dictates compatible cabling and fixture selection.

Part Context

This model belongs to Mini-Circuits' family of connectorized RF amplifiers designed for microwave applications. It shares the T2704 case style with other variants in the series. The product line emphasizes robust coaxial construction for consistent performance in demanding environments. It serves as a solution for engineers needing broad frequency coverage without switching components.

Replacement Considerations

The ZVA-02303X+ is listed as a related variant in official documentation. Verify pinout compatibility and exact frequency boundaries before substitution. The ZVA-0.5W303G+ offers a different frequency start point and should be evaluated based on specific band requirements.
