- Teledyne e2v HiRel announces the availability of a rad-tolerant, L- and S-band low noise amplifier, model TDLNA002093SEP, for high-reliability space and radar applications.
- The new amplifier leverages MMIC design techniques to deliver a gain of 21 dB from 1 GHz to 6 GHz with a noise figure of less than 0.37 dB.
September 19, 2023, MILPITAS, Calif. Teledyne e2v HiRel Electronics has announced the release of its industry-leading, rad-tolerant, L- and S-band low noise amplifier, model TDLNA002093SEP. Developed for use in high-reliability space and radar applications, this amplifier is designed to meet the critical needs of low noise figure, minimal power consumption, and small package footprint.
The amplifier is developed on 0.15 μm, InGaAs, pHEMT technology and comes in a 6-pin dual-flat no-lead (DFN) 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm x 0.8 mm plastic surface mount package. It is available for immediate shipment from Teledyne’s DoD Trusted Facility in Milpitas, California.
Mont Taylor, Vice President and Business Development Manager at Teledyne e2v HiRel, stated, “With a noise figure of less than 0.37 dB coupled with ease of use from a positive single-supply voltage, we believe this new product will enable system designers with a superior solution for both space-based communication, phased array radar, and communications system applications.”
The TDLNA002093SEP low noise amplifier (LNA) employs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design techniques to deliver exceptional performance across both the L- and S-band communication channels. The amplifier provides a gain of 21 dB from 1 GHz to 6 GHz while maintaining a noise figure of less than 0.37 dB and an output power (P1dB) of 19 dBm. The device can be biased over a VDD range of 2.7 to 5.0 volts and an IDDQ range of 30 mA to 100 mA. A Class-K evaluation kit is also available for customer evaluation.
The amplifier is TID radiation tolerant to 100 krad (Si), making it an excellent choice for satellite communication systems by increasing the power of radio signals with minimal noise and signal distortion. Devices are available for ordering and shipment today, from Teledyne e2v HiRel or an authorized distributor, in commercial versions and with the option of Classes H and K-equivalent screening.
