PLNA-44-16K18G-SFF Preliminary

Low Noise Amplifier

Quantic PMI Model PLNA-44-16K18G-SFF is a low noise amplifier with a working frequency range of 16 kHz to 18 GHz that offers 36 dB gain, gain flatness of ±2.5 dB and an OP1dB of 12 dBm minimum. This amplifier is supplied in our standard PE2 housing that can be used as a SMA female connectorized unit or as a surface mount component.

The unit functions nominally down to 16 kHz. However, the specifications below reflect operation between 4 MHz and 18 GHz. Please refer to test data/s-parameters for typical performance below 4 MHz.
