Preliminary Low Noise Amplifier with Bypass & Guerrilla Armor ; 0.4 2.7 GHz Package: 2.0 x 2.0 mm QFN-12 Product Description Features 0.7 GHz to 2.7 GHz (Single Tune) Bypass + Guerrilla Armor NF: 0.85 db @ 1.9 GHz Gain: 16.2 db @ 1.9 GHz Bypass Gain: -2.0 db @ 1.9 GHz OP1dB: +20.6 dbm @ 1.9 GHz Flexible Bias Voltage and Current Internally Matched to 50 Ω is a low noise amplifier (LNA) with low loss bypass designed for high performance applications up to 2.7 GHz. Guerrilla Armor technology provides exceptional off-state isolation in the presence of high RF input signal levels in LNA disabled mode. With integrated matching, the device achieves outstanding noise figure (NF), high gain and high linearity over 400-2700 MHz using as few as three external components. The LNA is operated from a single positive supply of 1.8 to 5.0 V with a selectable Iddq range of 15 to 90 ma. Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for custom tuning/evaluation board data and device s-parameters.
