High Dynamic Range LNA, 800 - 1000 MHz AM50-0011 V7 Features • • • • • Functional Block Diagram Ideal for Base Station Applications High Gain: 17 dB @ 900 MHz Low Noise Figure: <1.0 dB @ 900 MHz Single Supply +5 VDC SOT-26 Package Description M/A-COM’s AM50-0011 is a high dynamic range, GaAs MMIC, low noise amplifier in a low-cost SOT-26 package. It employs external matching to obtain optimum noise figure and intercept performance. The AM50-0011 may be operated with supply voltages of +5 V. The AM50-0011 is ideally suited for use where low noise figure, high gain, and high dynamic range are required. Typical applications included receiver front ends in AMPS, GSM and ETACS base stations. It may also be used as an IF amplifier in certain other communication systems. The AM50-0011 is fabricated using a low-cost 0.5-micron gate E-D SAGFET GaAs process. This process features full passivation for increased reliability. The AM50-0011 is 100% RF tested to ensure performance specification compliance.
