Key highlights

The PlaneWave PW2020-200 is an S-Band LNA designed for satellite applications. It is the LNA-only version of the PW2020-000 antenna. It shares identical features and designs with PW2020-000 in every aspect, except for the absence of the radiating element.

Instead, the input of the LNA section is connectorized. This configuration facilitates connectorized tests, including Hardware-In-The-Loop test (HITL), irradiation test, noise figure and active gain test and verification, and more.

Key features

  • Same active circuitry as PW2020-000
  • Radiation tolerant
  • Wide operating temperature range

BENEFITS

  • Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)
  • Facilitates Hardware-In-The-Loop (HITL) tests
  • Facilitates irradiation tests
  • Consultation services available (link budget, architecture, and system design)
