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.
