1.0Introduction
The LNA amplifies the signal from the antenna array and passes it to the S-Band receiver.
1.1Low Noise Amplifier – AMF-3F-022023-04-13P
The signal from the helices is ampli.ed by a low noise ampli.er (LNA) having a gain of 43 dB. This LNA is from MITEQ Inc. This amplifier has been chosen for its low noise figure, which results in a good signal to noise ratio.
Specifications:
- Model Number - AMF-3F-022023-04-13P
- Operating Frequency - 2.2 - 2.3 GHz
- Gain(dB,Min.) - 43
- Gain Flatness(± dB,Max.) - 0.50
- Noise Figure (dB,Max.) - 0.35
- Output Power (dBm,Min.) - +13
- VSWR IN/OUT (Max.) - 1.25/1.5
- DC Power @ +15V (mA, Nom.) – 175
1.1Power Supply
The LNA requires a 15 Volt DC power supply. The shielded twisted pair will be used to send the power to the LNA.
2.0 Miscellaneous
USU will give us the LNA.
