Compact, Wideband Low-Noise Amplifiers 0.5 GHz to 20.0 GHz

Transcription

1 Compact, 0.5 GHz to 20.0 GHz CTT offers a line of compact solid-state low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) for a wide range of applications in wideband and narrowband frequencies through 20 GHz. The AM series LNAs are based on GaAs phemt devices with input and output impedance matching. These LNAs offer a blend of good noise-figure performance and wide dynamic range. Many amplifiers are designed for +8 to +15 VDC operation and are ideal for many portable and battery-powered systems. The compact LNAs are available with or without SMA connectors.

4 Low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) are, by design and application, small signal amplifiers, intended to be the primary signal booster in RF subsystems; especially those where link-margins are critical. Since overall LNA performance is determined largely by the first stage of amplification, CTT has combined its many years of experience in characterizing these devices with its expertise in the design of matching circuits to optimize noise figure performance. CTT has developed an extensive Library of device parameters and compatible matching solutions, which allow predictable, repeatable noise performance. This Library is the basis for CTT s automated module production capability, which has been able to virtually triple module production efficiency. These amplifiers are high performance, low-cost, GaAs FET amplifiers. Each LNA comes with removable SMA connectors. 100 MHz to 20.0 GHz Low Cost Low-Noise Aluminum Package with Removable Connectors Tig Welded Aluminum Housing Designed to Meet MIL-STD-883 Custom Engineered Options (CEOs) (See page 36) [ AF Series ] Response Gain Flatness Figure P1dB VSWR Volts DC Current Case AFX/ : FC2 AFX/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 AFM/ : FC2 23

6 100 MHz to 20.0 GHz (continued) Low-Noise Amplifier Comments Applies to all AM, AF and AL Series amplifiers 1. All specifications are guaranteed at +25 C CASE temperature as measured in the linear region. 2. CTT can provide replacements for many hard to find amplification products including those formerly produced by Amplica, Inc., Avantek, Inc., Celeritek and Watkins- Johnson Company (WJ). 3. Noise figure will rise db/ C typically as the temperature increases. 4. P1dB will drop approximately 1 db from +25 C to +85 C. 5. All units contain internal voltage regulators which can operate from +12 to +15 VDC. 6. Proper heat sinking is REQUIRED to keep the case temperature below +105 C. Otherwise, permanent damage or degradation may occur. 7. Consult the factory for additional gain, power, higher frequencies, temperature compensation or any special functions. 8. Commercial versions are available with reduced screening and industrial-grade FETs. 9. Maximum power without damage is +12 dbm min. Up to +20 dbm option available, contact factory. 10. For selected applications, lower noise-figures are available, contact the factory.

11 Satellite communications (SATCOM) has become commonplace worldwide in both commercial and government enterprises. Development of smaller and inexpensive terrestrial stations for two-way voice, video and data is now available where traditional telecommunications networks did not exist or were cost prohibitive. Advances in very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology has greatly improved the price-performance ratio of SATCOM service. This is especially true for newer systems at Ka-band frequencies. The importance of SATCOM to homeland security has also increased significantly. The flow of immediate information to small military units operating in remote locations has driven advances in VSAT designs including fixed site, transportable and SATCOM-onthe-move (SOTM). CTT s SSPAs offer superior performance when used in uplink applications whether the application is integrated into the block upconverter (BUC) or as an augmenter amplifier. CTT s wideband LNAs also offer similar advantages in lownoise block (LNB) downconverter operation when combined with mixer.
