X Band LNA Product Specification Sheet.pdf

This document is a Product Specification Sheet for an X Band Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for the NOAA Wallops Command & Data Acquisition Station. The specification details the AMFW-7S-07000900-60-20P amplifier model with critical technical parameters, including a frequency range of 7 to 9 GHz, minimum gain of 60 dB, noise figure of 0.817 dB max, and noise temperature of 60 K. The amplifier operates across a temperature range of -40 to 60 °C, requires 15V nominal voltage with 450 mA current, and has a minimum output power (P1dB) of 20 dBm.

The specification sheet is associated with a Special Notice (Solicitation Number REQUIREMENTS-25-2257) for sole source procurement by NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service. NOAA intends to award the contract to Narda-MITEQ, citing the company as the only entity capable of providing X Band LNAs with the required specifications for the LEO 14.2 M antenna system in Wallops, VA. The procurement is justified by the need for specific RF parameters, compatibility with the existing antenna control system, and ensuring quality assurance of spacecraft data reception.
