It has\na minimum of 20dB of gain within the passband region centered around 137.5MHz,\nand a very high out-of-band attenuation. This, along with its miniscule noise\nfigure of ~0.7dB, ensures optimum performance with nearly any compatible\napplication. Each module allows for 3 different power options: biastee, USB\nand DC barrel connector. The recommended voltage to apply through the SMA\noutput port (for bias-tee capable SDRs like the NESDR SMArTee) is 3V-5V DC. As\nthe current consumption is only ~80mA, SAWbird NOAA is compatible with most\nSDR biastee circuits. Alternatively, if you don't have a biastee capable SDR,\nor if your SDR or radio cannot provide sufficient power, you can use the\nexternal power options through the microUSB port or the power input header\n(female 0.1\" header). The recommended external power input is 3.3V-5.5V DC.\nNote that you should only power with one of these options at any given time.\nThough there is protection circuitry on the SAWbird for overvoltage\nconditions, and voltages of up to 12V DC should still work and will not damage\nthe device, this is not recommended for long-term usage. Kindly note that\ndamage resulting from overvoltage conditions would not be covered under the\nstandard 2 year warranty. An EMI shield is installed to separate the sensitive\nLNA from external interference. There are also M3 mounting holes available on\nthe PCB to facilitate mounting with standard hardware in a separate custom\nenclosure or project.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSAWbird NOAA is a self-contained LNA module designed for capturing beautiful weather images available from NOAA and Meteor-M2 satellites\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eCan also be used for any other receiving application in the 135MHz-140MHz passband region.
