Satellite Radio Low Noise Amplifier 2.2 - 2.4 GHz Features • • • • • • • MAALSS0013 V6 Functional Schematic Low Noise Figure: 0.9 dB High Gain: 17 dB Low Cost Plastic SOT-26 Package Adjustable Current Single +3 V to +5 V Bias Output Power: +10 dBm 50 Ω Input / Output Match Description M/A-COM’s MAALSS0013 LNA is a GaAs MMIC low noise amplifier in a low-cost SOT-26 surface mount plastic package. The MAALSS0013 employs a monolithic 2-stage design featuring a convenient 50-ohm input/output impedance that minimizes the number of external components required. The device typically runs off a single 3 volt to 5 volt supply and has an off chip resistor that can be used to improve the linearity performance. The design provides excellent performance from 2.2 to 2.4 GHz. The MAALSS0013 is fabricated using M/A-COM’s E/D process to realize low noise and high dynamic range. The process features full passivation for increased performance and reliability.
