performance RF amplifier optimized for 1.95 GHz operation. Designed to improve sensitivity and signal quality in receive chains while resisting damage and distortion from strong signals. Key benefits Significantly increases received signal level: 20 dB gain at 1.95 GHz raises weak signals above noise and reduces the need for additional downstream amplification. Preserves low system noise: ultralow noise figure of 0.4 dB at 1.95 GHz minimizes added noise, improving receiver sensitivity and link margin. Robust against strong interferers: withstands up to +22 dBm CW input power without failure, reducing vulnerability to power signals in the field. Minimizes distortion in crowded RF environments: linearity with a +35 dBm output IP3 lowers intermodulation products and preserves signal fidelity for multisignal scenarios. Performance highlights (measured at 1.95 GHz) Gain: 20 dB Noise figure: 0.4 dB Input power robustness: +22 dBm CW Output third intercept (IP3): +35 dBm Function and compatibility Function: lownoise, gain RF amplification at 1.95 GHz for receiver front ends and signal conditioning. Compatibility: suitable for systems and modules operating at or near 1.95 GHz; can be integrated into RF front ends, repeaters, small cells, and test equipment where low noise and linearity are required. Integration note: designed for use where maintaining low system noise and handling strong inputs are priorities; check your system's impedance and connector/interface requirements for straightforward integration. Typical use scenarios Cellular receiver front end: improves uplink sensitivity in base stations, small cells, or distributed antenna systems by adding 20 dB of gain with only 0.4 dB noise penalty. RF repeaters and inbuilding coverage: increases received signal levels while resisting ambient signals, preventing damage and performance degradation in dense environments. Laboratory and test setups: preamplifier for measuring lowlevel signals at 1.95 GHz with minimal added noise and reduced intermodulation when multiple tones are present. What makes it stand out Exceptional tradeoff of very low noise figure and gain at 1.95 GHz, enabling better detection of weak signals. Higher input power tolerance and strong output IP3 provide resilience and cleaner output under realworld, interference conditions. Practical for engineers who need measurable performance improvements in sensitivity, linearity, and reliability without adding unnecessary complexity. Operational considerations Performance numbers are specified at 1.95 GHz; verify system behavior across the intended operating bandwidth. Ensure proper RF matching and thermal management during integration to maintain specified performance and reliability.
