Low Noise Amplifier

Quantic PMI Model PE2-16-300M20G-1R7-15-12-SFF is a low noise amplifier (LNA) that works from 0.3 to 20 GHz. This amplifier has an extremely low noise figure over this broad frequency range. This LNA provides 16 dB of small signal gain while requiring only a single supply of +12 V. The P1dB output power of 15 dBm allows this LNA to function as a lo driver for balanced, I/Q or image reject. Supplied in Quantic’s standard PE2 housing, 1.08 × 0.71 × 0.29 in., which can be used as an SMA connectorized or a surface-mount component.
