At 27db, it delivers high gain from a single compact package requiring just 6 external components. Best of all, the UPC8215TU does it without sacrificing low noise performance and power consumption. Typical specifications at 1.575GHz include: Gain: Noise Figure: Current Consumption: Single Supply Voltage: Input Power: Output Matching: 27 dB 1.3 dB 10 mA 2.8 V +10 dBm 50 ohms The UPC8215TU is manufactured using NEC’s 50GHz UHS2 high speed SiGe process. Housed in NEC’s low profile, RoHS compliant, 8 pin TU package, the UPC8215TU measures just 2.0mm square x 0.5mm in height, making it ideal for engineers faced with the task of miniaturizing their designs. To help speed circuit design, evaluation boards are available through CEL’s network of sales offices.
