Introduction 2 Introduction The is a front-end Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) applications. It is based on Infineon Technologies B7HF Silicon- Germanium (SiGe:C) technology, enabling a cost-effective solution in a very small TSNP-7-6 package with ultra low noise figure, high gain, high linearity and low current consumption over a wide range of supply voltages from 3.6 V down to 1.5 V. The GNSS satellites are at an orbit altitude of more than 20,000 km away from earth s surface and transmit power in the range of +47 dbm. After taking losses (atmospheric, antenna etc.) into account, the received signal strength at the GNSS device input is very low in the range of -130 dbm. The ability of the GNSS device to receive such a low signal strength and provide meaningful information to the end-user depends strongly on the noise figure of the GNSS receive chain. This ability which is called receiver sensitivity can be improved by using a low-noise amplifier with low noise figure and high gain at the input of the receiver chain. The improved sensitivity results in a shorter Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF), which is the time required for a GNSS receiver to acquire satellite signals and navigation data, and calculate a position and also improved coverage area. Noise figure of the LNA defines the overall noise figure of the GNSS receiver system. This is where excels by providing noise figure as low as 0.7 db and high gain of 15.5 db, thereby improving the receiver sensitivity significantly. The ever growing demand to integrate more and more functionality into one device leads to many challenges when transmitter/receiver has to work simultaneously without degrading the performance of each other. In today s smart-phones a GNSS receiver simultaneously coexists with transceivers in the GSM/EDGE/UMTS/LTE bands. These 3G/4G transceivers transmit high power in the range of +24 dbm which due to insufficient isolation couple to the GNSS receiver. The cellular signals can mix to produce Intermodulation products exactly in the GNSS receiver frequency band. For example, GSM 1712.5 MHz mixes with UMTS 1850 MHz to produce third-order-product exactly at GPS. To quantify the effect, shows out-of-band input IP3 at GPS of +10.6 dbm as a result of frequency mixing between GSM 1713 MHz and UMTS 1851 MHz with power levels of -20 dbm. has a high in-band input 3 rd order intercept point (IIP3) of +0.37 dbm, so that it is especially suitable for the GPS function in mobile phones. Application Note AN251, Rev. 1.3 7 / 24

Introduction also offers sufficient rejection at 787.76MHz, which is band-13 of upcoming LTE and whose 2 nd harmonic is at GPS frequency, to meet specifications of 2 nd harmonic of band- 13 without any additional circuitry. has input referred band-13 second harmonic level of -48.5 dbm when the input signal of 787.76 MHz at -25 dbm is applied. The output of the is internally matched to 50 Ω, and a DC blocking capacitor is integrated on-chip, thus no external component is required at the output. Depending on the application, three or four external components on the input side are required. The device also integrates an on-chip ESD protection which can resist until 2 kv (referenced to Human Body Model). The integrated power on/off feature provides for low power consumption and increased stand-by time for GNSS handsets. Moreover, the low consumption (4.4 ma) makes the device suitable for portable technology like GNSS receivers and mobiles phones. The Internal circuit diagram of the is presented in Figure 2. Table 1 show the pin assignment of. Table 2 shows the truth table to turn on/off by applying different voltage to the PON pin. Application Note AN251, Rev. 1.3 8 / 24
