an/MPN-14/16
An item, the output characteristics of which are uniformly related to the input signal, but of greater amplitude with respect to current and/or voltage. It consists basically of an input signal inductance, an output signal inductance, and a semiconductor diode device. An external source of radio frequency power, commonly referred to as the "pump frequency" is injected across the diode at a frequency fundamentally or harmonically related to the input signal frequency. The diode, operating as a type of frequency-controlled capacitor, increases the amplitude of the input signal by an appreciable value, at an almost zero noise level. The characteristic of extremely low noise level at very high operating frequencies, makes the amplifier suitable for use with radar receivers, missile detection and tracking equipments, radio astronomy research, and the like. Excludes amplifier, radio frequency.
All packaging data is mandatory for compliance and no substitutions are permitted. fast packs should be included in this category.
No special marking.
OPI: Optional Procedure Indicator Code. A one position alpha code that indicates the allowable deviations from the prescribed requirements.
SPI No.: Special packaging instructions number.
LVL A/B/C: Indicates the type of shipping container required for level A, B, or C maximum packing protection.
SPC Mkg: A two position code that identifies the special markings applied to the container, which is part of the total pack to protect the contained item during preservation, packing, storage, transit and removal from the pack.
Indicates there is no data in the hmirs and the nsn is in a fsc not generally suspected of containing hazardous materials.
Precious metal content is unknown
The item does not have a nuclear hardened feature or any other critical feature such as tolerance, fit restriction or application.
HMIC: Hazardous Material Indicator Code. A one position code that identifies a hazardous item.
PMIC: Precious Metal Indicator Code. A one position code which identifies items that have precious metals as part of their content. precious metals are those metals generally considered to be uncommon, highly valuable, and relatively superior in certain properties such as resistance to corrosion and electrical conductivity.
ESD: Electrostatic Discharge. Indicates if an item is susceptible to electrostatic discharge or electromagnetic interference damage. electrostatic discharge damage occurs when an accumulation of static electricity generated by the relative motion or separation of materials is released to another item by direct contact. electromagnetic interference damage occurs when an item comes into proximity with an electrostatic or magnetic field.
ENAC: Enviromental Attribute Code. Identifies items with environmentally preferred characteristics.
CRITL: Criticality Indicator Code. Indicates an item is technically critical by tolerance, fit, application, nuclear hardness properties, or other characteristics.
