Product Description Sirenza Microdevices’ SLM-20T amplifier is a low noise amplifier module operating in the 1700-2000 MHz frequency band. This device has been optimized to serve high linearity base station applications where a high intercept point is required with low noise figure. The SLM-20T uses PHEMT device technology and internal bias circuitry to yield a high performance product with proven reliability. Internal RF matching is also included on both the input and output to provide an easy to implement, 50 Ohm circuit block. No additional external components are required. Optimized performance over narrower bands is available for custom specified orders. Contact the sales team for information.
