The Mini-Circuits ZHL-1724HLN is a wideband RF amplifier module operating across the 1700 MHz to 2400 MHz band. It delivers 26–29 dB typical gain at 15V with a maximum noise figure of 1.5 dB, making it well-suited for signal-critical applications in communications infrastructure. Output power reaches 1.0–1.4 dBm at 1 dB compression. The amplifier operates from a single 15V supply (rated to 20V maximum) and interfaces via SMA connectors at 50 Ohm impedance.

– Key Features
• Low noise figure (1.10 dB typical) for high signal integrity in receive chains
• Flat gain response across the 700 MHz bandwidth
• 50 Ohm input and output for direct integration into standard RF systems
• Wide dynamic range performance
• Single-supply operation simplifies power distribution
– Thermal Considerations
An external heat sink is required. Maximum base-plate temperature must not exceed 65°C. The user-supplied heat sink shall provide thermal resistance no greater than 1.8°C/W.
– Typical Applications
• PCS/DCS systems
• UMTS systems
• General communication systems
– Compatibility & Integration
The SMA connector interface enables straightforward integration into standard RF test benches and communication systems. Input RF power must remain below +10 dBm to prevent damage. Supply voltage shall not exceed 20V.
