PRODUCT LINE OVERVIEW
NuWaves’ HILNA family of
low noise amplifiers (LNAs) is designed to achieve high RF gain while
maintaining extremely low noise, and high third-order intercept point across a wide band.
The HILNA’s
robust power supply also operates over a very broad range easily allowing the unit to be integrated into
systems without regard to power supply precision.

PRODUCT LINE HIGHLIGHTS
High Performance - Noise, Gain, Intercept, Dynamic Range: Unique combination of extremely
low noise, high gain, high output intercept, and wide band frequency coverage.
Robust Power Supply: Operates over a very broad range of power supply voltages. Included with
each LNA is a power connector with cable, as required.
Enclosures:

Completely Characterized: The HILNA family of low noise amplifiers has been completely
characterized over temperature, voltage, and frequency. The amplifiers are robust, offering
significant value for the OEM user or the Systems Integrator.
User Friendly: Reverse-voltage protection and regulator thermal shutdown provide defenses
against user interface issues.
High Reliability:
NuWaves’ selection of conservatively rated components provides high
reliability. Each HILNA is inspected to IPC-A-610 Class II quality standards.
ESD Protection: The HILNA Amplifiers are suitable for many types of applications where ESD
susceptibility is prominent. The amplifiers are designed to withstand up to 1000 V utilizing ESD
waveforms described in IEC 61000 4-2.
