Product Overview
Mini-Circuits’ ZX60-06203LN+ is a wideband low noise connectorized amplifier providing a unique combination of low
noise figure, high IP3 and flat gain over a very wide frequency range, supporting a wide range of sensitive, high-dy-
namic range receiver applications and many systems where high performance over wideband is needed. This design
operates on a single 5 V supply and comes in a rugged, compact unibody case (0.74 x 0.75 x 0.46”) with SMA con-
nectors, making it an excellent candidate for tough operating conditions and crowded system layouts.
Key Features
Feature
Advantages
Ultra-wideband with excellent gain flat-
ness, 1.6 dB for 8 - 18 GHz
Enables a single amplifier to be used in a wide range of applications including EW and communi-
cation systems instrumentation and more.
Low noise over the whole band
High gain, 18 dB typ.
Enables lower system noise figure performance.
Reduces the number of gain stages, lowering component count and overall system cost.
High IP3
+26 dBm typ over 6 to 12 GHz
+29 dBm typ over 12 to 20 GHz
The combination of low noise and high IP3 makes the ZX60-06203LN+ ideal for use in low noise
receiver front end (RFE) as it gives the user the advantages of sensitivity and two-tone IM perfor-
mance at both ends of the dynamic range.
Excellent Directivity
(Isolation-Gain), 20 dB typ.
Buffer amplifier reduces need for adjacent circuits
The amplifier features low operating voltage
Low operating voltage, 5V
Mini-Circuits unibody construction integrates the RF connector into the case body, providing high
reliability and excellent survivability in critical applications.
Rugged, unibody construction
