While LTE/4G offers consumers much higher data rates (up to 300 Mbits/s) compared to UMTS/3G, LTE smartphones are more complex because they need more antennas, are used for multiple cellular and connectivity frequencies, and require additional switches and duplexers. BGS8x2 and BGU8x1 LTE LNAs increase the receive sensitivity of LTE main and diversity receivers by offering system-optimized gain, low noise figure, and high third-order linearity.

Features:

  • Integrated supply decoupling capacitor
  • Single supply 3.0 V to 3.6 V operation
  • ESD protection on all pins (HBM > 2 kV)
  • Integrated matching for the output
  • Available in a 6-pin leadless package 1.1 mm x 0.7 mm x 0.37 mm; 0.4 mm pitch: SOT1232
  • 180 GHz transit frequency - SiGe:C technology

Applications:

  • LNA for LTE reception in smart phones
  • Feature phones
  • Tablet PCs
  • RF front-end modules
