BGU700x SiGe:C Low-Noise Amplifier MMICs

NXP Semiconductors BGU700x Silicon Germanium Carbon (SiGe:C) Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) provide strong reception of weak GPS signals by suppressing cellular and WLAN transmit signals. Linearity for these LNAs improves with a 10dB better IP3 under -40dBm to -20dBm jamming conditions, while NF remains below 1dB. The BGU700x devices require only one external matching inductor and one external decoupling capacitor, and feature and extremely compact SOT886 package, reducing BOM costs and PCB space requirements.
