DistributionAmp

434MHz/868MHz LoRa distribution amplifier (BPF and LNA followed by splitter)

This is a simple board designed to improve the performance of a LoRa system, as well as allowing multiple receivers at multiple frequencies or for redundancy (e.g. we used this for a one-off HAB experiment opportunity).

It features:

  • Input SAW filter for out-of-band noise rejection (e.g. 800MHz 4G) with ESD protection
  • MAAL-010704 (0.8dB NF, 20dB gain) LNA
  • Inductive splitter to four outputs with SMA connectors
  • Low noise 3V LDO powering the LNA

Questions

How big is the Distramp PCB?

It measures 50 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Distramp use?

28 parts, built around the B39431B3710U410 and ESDAXLC6-1BT2. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Distramp KiCad files?

From the SvalbardHAB/DistributionAmp repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is distramp.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Distramp design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask SvalbardHAB before reusing the design.
