Low-Noise Amplifier Gains Ka-Band Range

Jan. 21, 2015

This coaxial low-noise amplifier operates from 27 to 31 GHz.

Model AMF-6F-27003100-22-13P is a low-noise amplifier (LNA) developed for use from 27 to 31 GHz. Over that range, it exhibits maximum noise figure of 2.2 dB, with a typical noise figure of 2.0 dB. The gain is 40 dBm with worst-case gain flatness of ±1 dB. The RoHS-compliant LNA delivers +13-dBm output power at 1-dB compression with a third-order intercept point of typically +21 dBm. It typically draws 275 mA from a +15-VDC supply and is supplied in a housing measuring 0.38 × 0.75 in. excluding the 2.92-mm coaxial connectors. It has an operating temperature range of -40 to +75°C and is available in a hermetic version.
