ZVA-18403G+

Overview

The ZVA-18403G+ is a connectorized, low noise, medium power amplifier from Mini-Circuits. It operates within the 18 to 40 GHz frequency range with a 50Ω impedance. The device utilizes a 2.92mm connector interface and is housed in the T2704 case style. Typical performance data indicates a gain of approximately 43 dB at 18 GHz. It requires a single positive supply voltage of 15 VDC and draws a current of 375 mA. The component complies with RoHS and REACH standards.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial design for wideband operation
• Low noise characteristics suitable for sensitive applications
• High gain performance across millimeter-wave frequencies

Applications

• Test and measurement equipment
• Wireless communication systems
• Military and aerospace radar systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure compliance with environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH. Confirm that the required supply voltage matches the 15 VDC specification and that the system can accommodate the typical current draw of 375 mA. Ensure the application environment supports the thermal requirements associated with the T2704 package style.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband amplifier covering 18 to 40 GHz is required. It is appropriate for designs needing high gain and low noise figure in a coaxial form factor. Consider the 2.92mm connector compatibility with existing board layouts. Evaluate the power consumption against available supply rails before integration.
