General Description The is a high-linearity, ultra-low noise gain block amplifier with a bypass mode functionality integrated in the product. At. GHz, the amplifier typically provides db gain, +. dbm OIP, and. db noise figure while drawing ma current from a +. V supply. The is internally matched using a high performance E-pHEMT process and only requires four external components for operation from a single positive supply: an external choke and blocking/bypass capacitors. This low noise amplifier contains an internal active bias to maintain high performance over temperature. The is optimized for the.. GHz frequency band and is targeted for wireless infrastructure. The is packaged in a x mm DFN. Product Features Pin X mm DFN Package.. GHz Operational bandwidth LNA with integrated bypass mode Ability to turn LNA and bypass mode OFF Ultra low noise,. db at.
