ZVE-453+

Overview

The ZVE-453+ is a coaxial wideband high gain amplifier from Mini-Circuits, operating within the 18 to 45 GHz frequency range. It delivers a typical gain of 33 dB and a saturated output power of +28 dBm (0.63 Watts). The device requires a single positive supply voltage ranging from 10 V to 15 VDC, drawing approximately 750 mA at 15 V. It features excellent gain flatness with a typical variation of ±2.5 dB across the band.

Feature Summary

• Coaxial module design for broad frequency coverage
• High gain performance suitable for signal amplification
• Single positive DC supply operation
• Excellent gain flatness across the operational bandwidth

Applications

• Wideband test and instrumentation systems
• Satellite communication links
• 5G infrastructure components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant against the official datasheet to ensure correct power handling and package type. Confirm supply voltage requirements match the system design. Check RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Ensure connector compatibility with existing RF chain interfaces before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when wideband amplification is required between 18 and 45 GHz. Consider the 15 VDC supply requirement and current draw during power budgeting. Evaluate the need for coaxial packaging versus surface mount alternatives based on thermal and mechanical constraints. Verify gain flatness specifications meet system tolerance levels.

Part Context

This model belongs to the ZVE series of wideband amplifiers by Mini-Circuits. Variants such as ZVE-453X+, ZVE-453G+, and ZVE-453HP+ exist with differing power outputs and package styles. All share the same core frequency range but vary in thermal and electrical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include ZVE-453X+ and ZVE-453G+. Verify pinout and connector types before swapping. Performance differences may exist in output power and efficiency.
