Overview
The EMC Shop LNA18G Low Noise Low Power Wideband Amplifier is for increasing sensitivity at field strength measurements and for general attenuation measurements up to 18 GHz. Due to the built-in rechargeable battery, operation without power supply is possible for approx. 8 hours.
The amplifier Input comes with an SMA female connector. A coaxial microwave cable of 0.5 m length is supplied to connect the Antenna with the Amplifier. The cable is equipped with N-male and SMA male connectors.
Usually, the amplifier should be installed very close to the antenna. The Amplifier Housing is equipped with rubber pads for placement on horizontal surfaces. Further, there are 22 mm holes in the housing to accept the mounting tube of The EMC Shop. The antenna mounting tube is usually oriented horizontally with the N-female output of the amplifier facing to ground. This avoids undesired bending of the coaxial cable.
