TECHNICAL PRODUCT DATA SHEET

A11M
Mini Amplifier

DESCRIPTION
The A11M Mini Amplifier is a single stage gain block
which covers the GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS
frequencies designed with the thin link margins ofsatellite navigation systems in mind.
The A11M features 30.0dB of gain, and a noise figureof less than 1.8dB. Since the A11M consumes lessthan 16mA, it is easily powered by any GPS receiver's
antenna voltage output.
The A11M is an inline device designed to strengthen
the signal and reach of the entire L-band.

FEATURES

Excellent Noise Figure: F < 1.8dB
Excellent Gain: G = 30dB
Passes L1/L2/L5 GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, andCompass
RoHS and WEEE Compliant
Variable Gain Option: 0dB to 30dB

OPTIONS
The A11M Mini Amplifier can be custom configured.
