This is not an LNA, instead it is a amplifier with a downconverter more of a mid stage amplification and converter stage. It still requires a Low Noise Amplifier in front to give it its initial sensitivity.
As it is an intermediate restage amplifier it can have multiple stages to provide 45 db of gain.
I picked to up at an auction. The only unfortunate part is that the impedance is 75 ohms, but it should be rectified with a very simple impedance matching network to provide me with the 50 ohms that I'd like.
