SBL-1834232840-KFKF-E3-U

Rev 1.2

Description:
Model SBL-1834232840-KFKF-E3-U is a low noise amplifier with a typicalsmall signal gain of 28 dB and a nominal noise figure of 4 dB across thefrequency range of 18 to 42 GHz. DC supply is provided with a locking USB
Type-C connector for supply via portable devices. The DC power
requirement for the amplifier is +5 VDC/240 mA. The amplifier incorporates
a regulator, allowing for full compatibiliy with the USB Type-C power bus,
and is protected by a metal enclosure. The input and output ports are female K connectors. Other port
configurations are available under different model numbers. Compatible with portable spectrum
analyzers such as Anritsu Spectrum Master MS2760A and MS2760T (32 and 43 GHz) and Keysight
FieldFox Handheld Microwave Analyzer N9918. For Keysight Models N9951, and N9950 SBL1834232840-VFVF-E3-U is recommended.
