RF Solutions
Low-noise amplifier modules
RF Solutions has completed its range of low-noise amplifier modules for general-purpose LNA, wideband, linear-driver and gain-block functions, with a total of 38 modules now available.
The new modules have dimensions of 49 x 22.5 x 10mm, with SMA connectors fitted, and mounting holes pre-drilled in the heatsink/baseplate.
An on-board regulator allows use with any unregulated DC supply from 6V to 12V, and a power-status LED is provided.
A 'phantom' DC power feed via the RF-out connector is also permitted.
These amplifiers target applications such as broadcast equipment, laboratory instruments, PA drivers, masthead amplifiers, and front-end amplifiers in numerous OEM products.
The LNA1 range of low-noise amplifiers are available as single-stage amplifiers covering the frequency range 820MHz to 3.6GHz, with bandwidth as narrow as 70MHz and noise figures ranging from 0.5 to 1.0.
The range also includes wideband LNAs covering the 525MHz and 1,125MHz frequency bands, with bandwidth of 950MHz or 2,150MHz.
LDA1 low-noise linear-driver amplifiers span the frequency range from 50MHz to 2.7GHz, with noise factor from 2.1 to 5.0 and bandwidths of 150MHz, 200MHz, 300MHz or 700MHz.
RF Solutions is also offering the GBA1 range of gain-block low-noise amplifiers, with gain ranging from 14.5dB to 20dB, nominal frequency of 230MHz, 600MHz, 1,810MHz, or 2,045MHz, and narrow bandwidths from 120MHz to 400MHz.
