4.2 Components

This image displays the ASHATA LNA Module from the front. Visible components include the RF-IN SMA female connector on the left side and a black ON/OFF toggle switch. The orange metal casing is labeled with "TOP3M9037-LNA", "mode: RF AMP 04A", "frequency range: 0.1MHz - 6GHz", and "input/output impedance: 50 Ohm".

This image shows the rear side of the ASHATA LNA Module. From left to right, it features a "5V" label, a micro USB port for power input and charging, and an "RF-OUT" SMA female connector.

This image presents the ASHATA LNA Module next to its USB charging cable. The module's front side, with the RF-IN connector and power switch, is visible. The USB cable has a standard USB-A connector on one end and a micro USB connector on the other, used for powering and charging the device.

5. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your LNA Module:

1. Charge the Battery: Before first use, connect the provided USB cable to the micro USB port on the LNA module and to a 5V USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The internal 2500mAh Li-Ion battery will begin charging.
2. Connect RF Input: Connect your RF signal source (e.g., antenna, signal generator) to the RF-IN SMA female connector on the LNA module. Ensure the connection is secure.
3. Connect RF Output: Connect your receiving device (e.g., spectrum analyzer, radio receiver) to the RF-OUT SMA female connector on the LNA module. Ensure the connection is secure.
4. Power On: Toggle the ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position to power on the LNA module.

This image provides visual examples of where the ASHATA LNA Module can be utilized. It shows the LNA module centrally, surrounded by various devices such as satellite dishes, a satellite, a remote control and set-top box, a laptop, cellular towers, a smartphone, a Wi-Fi router, and a vintage radio, indicating its versatility in amplifying signals for shortwave, FM radio, remote control receivers, and other RF applications.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the LNA module is set up, it operates as a signal amplifier. No further configuration is typically required for basic amplification.

• The LNA will automatically amplify the signal received at the RF-IN port and output the amplified signal through the RF-OUT port.
• Monitor your receiving device for improved signal strength and clarity.
• To turn off the device, toggle the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.
• Recharge the battery when the performance degrades or the device indicates low power (if applicable, check for LED indicators not specified in current data).

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LNA module:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Battery Care: For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Recharge it regularly, especially if stored for extended periods.
• Connector Care: Keep SMA connectors clean and free from dust or debris. Avoid overtightening connections.
