AST20S
High Gain, Low Noise Amplifier
Features
Description
·18 dB Gain at 900 MHz
·0.6 dB NF at 900 MHz
·30 dBm OIP3 at 900 MHz
·17 dBm P1dB at 900 MHz
·One-stage LNA
AST20S is a one-stage LNA which has a low noise,
high gain, and high linearity over a wide range of
frequency up to 6 GHz. It is also suitable for use in
the low noise amplifier block of the mobile wireless
systems of T-DMB, CDMA, GSM, PCS, WCDMA,
WiBro, WiMAX, and WLAN so on. The amplifier is
available in an SOT-363 package and passes the
stringent DC, RF, and reliability tests.
Package Style: SOT-363
