MML09212HT1
Low Noise Amplifier
The MML09212H is a 2--stage low noise amplifier (LNA) with active bias
and high isolation for use in cellular infrastructure applications. It is designed
for a range of low noise, high linearity applications such as picocell,
femtocell, tower mounted amplifiers (TMA) and receiver front--end circuits. It
operates from a single voltage supply and is suitable for applications with
frequencies from 400 to 1400 MHz such as ISM, GSM, W--CDMA and LTE.
