PRODUCT LINE OVERVIEW
NuWaves’ HILNA family of amplifiers is designed to achieve high RF gain while maintaining extremely
low noise, and high third‐order intercept point across a wide band. 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.

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
delivering high Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) numbers. Each HILNA is inspected to IPC‐A‐
610 Class III 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.
