Nooelec SAWbird NOAA - Premium LNA and Saw Filter for Weather Satellite Applicat

Nooelec SAWbird NOAA - Optimize your satellite image capturing with this premium LNA and SAW Filter module designed specifically for NOAA and Meteor-M2 weather satellites. Operating at a center frequency of 137MHz, this device boasts an ultra-low noise figure of approximately 0.7dB and a minimum of 20dB gain within the crucial passband around 137.5MHz. High out-of-band attenuation enhances performance, making it ideal for various applications.

Enjoy flexible powering options with the ability to use biastee, USB, or DC barrel connector. For bias-tee capable SDRs like the NESDR SMArTee, a voltage of 3V-5V DC at the SMA output is optimal, consuming only about 80mA. Explore external power via microUSB or power input header if your setup needs it, adhering to the 3.3V-5.5V DC input range.

Built-in protection against overvoltage conditions ensures durability, although voltages up to 12V DC are supported, they are not advised for long-term use. To guard against external interference, an EMI shield is installed. The module also features M3 mounting holes for secure installation in a custom enclosure or project setup.
