High-Gain, Low Current Low Noise Amplifier With Variable Current And Shutdown Function: MGA-24106

Avago Technologies' High-Gain, Low Current Low Noise Amplifier with Variable Current and Shutdown Function: MGA-24106 is a designed for GPS/ISM/WiMAX applications. The Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) uses Avago's proprietary GaAs enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with very low noise figure and high linearity

The High-Gain, Low Current Low Noise Amplifier with Variable Current and Shutdown Function: MGA-24106 from Avago Technologies' is a low-noise amplifier (LNA) designed for GPS/ISM/WiMAX applications in the (0.9-3.5) GHz frequency range.

The LNA uses Avago Technologies' proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain with very low noise figure and high linearity. Noise figure distribution is very tightly controlled. A CMOS-compatible shutdown pin is included either for turning the LNA on/off, or for current adjustment.

The low noise figure and high gain, coupled with low current consumption make it suitable for use in critical low power GPS applications or during low-battery operation.
