1.75 dB NF Low Noise Amplifier – 1GHz to 12GHz

Service Description

This low noise amplifier operates over a wide frequency range of 1 GHz to 12 GHz using GaAs HBT MMIC technology. It provides high dynamic range with typical performance at 8 GHz including 16 dB small signal gain, 1.75 dB noise figure, up to +17 dBm output power at P1dB, and +31 dBm output IP3. The amplifier operates with a +6V and -5V DC supply and features internally matched 50-ohm input/output ports with DC blocking.

Housed in a hermetically sealed drop-in package with field-replaceable SMA connectors, this module is designed for rugged environments, meeting MIL-STD-883 standards for Hermeticity and Temperature Cycling. It supports an operating temperature range of -55°C to +85°C and is ideal for broadband applications requiring consistent, high-performance amplification across a wide frequency span.
