Meet the New Heroes of Communication: Teledyne e2v HiRel’s LNAs



Hey tech enthusiasts, gear up! The world of communication just got a significant upgrade, and the credit goes to Teledyne e2v HiRel. If you haven't heard yet, they’ve unveiled not one, but two groundbreaking low noise amplifiers (LNAs) that are set to revolutionize everything from military to industrial applications. Let’s dive into what makes the TDLNA2050EP and TDLNA0430EP the new talk of the town.



First things first, let's give a shout-out to Milpitas, Calif. This is where the magic happens. Teledyne e2v HiRel has its DoD Trusted Facility here, and this place is buzzing with innovation. These two LNAs, TDLNA2050EP and TDLNA0430EP, are the latest fruits of their labor. 

Imagine a device that can handle VHF to S-band communications without breaking a sweat. That's what these amplifiers promise. They’re created using a 250 nm enhancement depletion mode pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (pHEMT) process. Now, that's a mouthful, but what it means is you're getting top-notch performance in a tiny package. Seriously, these things are just 2 mm x 2 mm x 0.75 mm. Small but mighty, right?



Let's talk about the TDLNA2050EP. This little guy is a beast when it comes to S-band communications. Imagine having a gain of 17.5 dB from 2 GHz to 5 GHz. That’s like turning up the volume on your favorite playlist but without any annoying static. The noise figure is less than 0.4 dB, and it delivers an output power (P1dB) of 19.5 dBm. All you need is a VDD of +5.0 volts and an IDDQ of 60 mA to get it rolling.

What does this mean for you? If you're working on communication systems, this amplifier ensures minimal noise and distortion. It's like having a clear conversation in the middle of a concert. No more struggling to hear the important bits. Plus, it comes in a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design, which means it’s built to last.



Now, let’s shift gears to the TDLNA0430EP. This one is your go-to for VHF to S-band communications. It offers a gain of 21.5 dB from 0.03 GHz to 3 GHz. The noise figure? Less than 0.35 dB. Output power (P1dB)? 18.5 dBm. Just like its sibling, it operates on a VDD of +5.0 volts and an IDDQ of 60 mA.

This amplifier is like the Swiss Army knife of communication systems. Whether you’re dealing with VHF or S-band, it’s got you covered. The monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design ensures you’re getting consistent, reliable performance without the hassle of frequent maintenance.



Teledyne e2v HiRel didn’t just stop at creating exceptional LNAs; they made sure these devices are user-friendly. Both the TDLNA2050EP and TDLNA0430EP are available in commercial versions and with the option of Classes H and K-equivalent screening. You can order them today and have them shipped directly from their Milpitas facility or an authorized distributor.

Mont Taylor, the Vice President and Business Development Manager at Teledyne e2v HiRel, puts it best: “With noise figures of less than 0.35 dB coupled with ease of use from a positive single supply voltage, we believe these new products will provide system designers with a superior solution for communication, phased array radar, and avionics system applications.”


So, there you have it. The TDLNA2050EP and TDLNA0430EP are not just amplifiers; they are game-changers in the world of communication. Whether you're working on military, avionics, or industrial applications, these LNAs are designed to meet your high-reliability needs. 

Say goodbye to noise and hello to clear, reliable communication. And remember, it all started in Milpitas, Calif., where innovation is not just a buzzword but a way of life. So, what are you waiting for? Dive into the future with Teledyne e2v HiRel’s new LNAs and experience the difference.
