A high-quality, high-performance, complete LNA & SAW filter module for Inmarsat at a very affordable price. Perfect for Outernet projects!
The module should be powered via low-noise bias-tee which supplies between 3.0V-5.5V. It must be capable of supplying a minimum of 35mA of current. Works great with NESDR SMArTee XTR! (Amazon SKUs: B06Y1D7P48 and B06Y1GN5RP)
As with all other high-frequency applications, we recommend using in conjunction with an SDR specifically designed for long-term, high-frequency performance without degradation, such as an E4000-based RTL-SDR or a HackRF.
The center frequency of the module is 1.542GHz with approximately 80MHz of bandwidth (-6dB rolloff). As such, it should be used for reception of frequencies between 1.50GHz-1.58GHz.
The LNA is a dual-stage design with a very low noise figure of 1dB (nominal).
4 mounting holes are available on the PCB for various mounting options. The input and output connectors are female SMA.
