Single stage low noise amplifier from 2-6 GHz with flat gain, low Noise Figure, high isolation, stability.

Overview

RFLN04C is a single stage low noise amplifier with flat gain, low Noise Figure, high isolation, stability. The LNA is designed to operate from 2-6 GHz using 0.1um GaAs pHEMT process. The designed LNA, bias current and gain can be set with the gate bias to allow the user to customize the current, gain and NF value to fit the application. The LNA offers less than 1.4 dB noise figure, 14.6 dB of small signal gain, OP1dB of 18.8 dBm with low noise figure along with the flexibility of setting current and gain makes this LNA an ideal front end amplifier in Bluetooth, Zigbee and SATCOM Application. Results are shown in datasheet with all parasitics & coupling effects at desired frequency.
