PA 3010

The Langer EMV PA 3010 is a compact, low-noise preamplifier covering 10 MHz to 10 GHz, designed to amplify weak measurement signals from near-field probes during PCB-level EMC diagnostic work. With a typical gain of 30 dB, a noise figure of 2.5 dB at 5 GHz, and a consistently high dynamic range across its full operating bandwidth, it extends useful measurement sensitivity from the lower MHz range all the way through 10 GHz — making it the highest-frequency model in the Langer PA 30x series and a natural choice for setups where coverage beyond 6 GHz is required.

Key specifications include a -1 dB output compression point of +18 dBm at 5 GHz, a maximum input power of +17 dBm, a supply voltage of 12 VDC at 170 mA, and SMA connectors at both input and output. The near-field probe connects via cable to the amplifier input, with the amplifier output connected directly to the 50 Ω input of a spectrum analyzer or oscilloscope. The unit measures 50 × 38 × 14 mm (L × W × H) and weighs 60 g — the same compact footprint as the PA 306 SMA — making it equally unobtrusive in hands-on probe scanning setups around a DUT. It is available individually or as part of the PA 3010 set, which includes compatible Langer near-field probes and accessories for a complete PCB emission diagnostic workflow.
