Filtered Low Noise Amplifier SPECTRUM MICROWAVE P/N: 310-024105-011 For GPS Applications 1575 MHz This series of Low Noise Amplifiers provides a filtered, low-noise gain solution ideal for applications where higher reliability is critical. These filtered low noise amplifiers are designed to reduce out-of-band interference while achieving high dynamic range. A 3-pole ceramic filter selects only the desired GPS positioning signal while the low-noise gain stage maintains the receiving system’s sensitivity. The LNA rejects undesired signals by at least 40 dB at 1050, 1410, and 1710 MHz. See the graphs on Page 2 for return loss, rejections, and gain of a typical unit. The preamplifier is powered by DC voltage applied to the center conductor of the output connector. Optionally, the unit can be powered through an external DC bias connector.
