SBL-2634032030-KF28-E1

AdvancedDescription:
Model SBL-2634032030-KF28-E1 is a low noise amplifier
with a typical small signal gain of 20 dB and a nominal
noise figure of 3 dB across the frequency range of 26.5
to 40 GHz. The DC power requirement for the amplifier
is +8 VDC/70 mA. The input port configuration is female K
connector and the output port is a WR-28 Uni-Guide™
waveguide. Other port configurations, such as male K
connectors for either the input or output port, are alsoavailable under different model numbers.

••

All data presented is collected from a sample lot. Actual data may vary unit to unit.
All testing was performed under +25 ˚C case temperature.
The amplifier employs SAGE Millimeter’s trademarked and patent pending technology, UniGuideTM, as its waveguide interfaces. The orientation of the input and the output waveguides
can be specified through corresponding model numbers. For example, the model number for ahorizontal output waveguide configuration would be SBL-2634032030-KF28H-E1 instead of thedefault SBL-2634032030-KF28-E1 which indicates vertical orientation output.
Other mechanical configurations are available under different model numbers.
SAGE Millimeter, Inc. reserves the right to change the information presented without notice.

Caution:•••Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
Exceeding the maximum bias voltage of +16 VDC will cause amplifier overheating and result theinstability.
The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
