SBL-1834232840-VFVF-E3

Rev. 1.3

Description:
Model SBL-1834232840-VFVF-E3 is a low noise amplifier with atypical small signal gain of 28 dB and a nominal noise figure of 4dB across the frequency range of 18 to 42 GHz. The DC power
requirement for the amplifier is +5 VDC/240 mA. Due to the small
package, the amplifier does not have a built-in regulator. The
input and output port configurations are both female V
connectors. Other port configurations are available under different model numbers.

Other mechanical configurations are available under different model numbers.

Caution:•••••Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
Due to its compact package size, the amplifier does not have an internal voltage regulator.
Therefore, any reverse or over bias will damage the amplifier. Never allow the bias voltage toexceed +5.5 VDC because the amplifier will be damaged.
The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
The case temperature of the device shall never exceed +50 ˚C. Use proper heatsink or fan ifnecessary.
Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.15 inch-pounds (0.90 ± 0.02 Nm), should be applied. SAGE Millimeter
torque wrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
