Two High IP3 Low Noise Amplifiers

December 19, 2013

TQL9042RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support fortwo internally matched, high IP3 low noise amplifiers from TriQuint. The TQL9042 and TQL9043 both feature bypass switches and shut-down pins offering receivers the highest level of sensitivity performance. The TQL9042 offers 19 dB gain over 0.5 to 2 GHz with a market leading 0.42 dB noise figure. The TQL9043 provides frequency coverage from 1.5 to 2.7 GHz with >18 dB gain and 0.5 dB noise figure.

TriQuint’s TQL9042 and TQL9043 bypass switch loss measures 1dB and 1.6dB respectively. Both LNAs find applications in BTS transceivers, whether TDD or FDD, as well as small cell radios. Their frequency coverage make these two bypass LNAs applicable for Radar and defense communications as well. Both bypass LNAs operate from 3-5V with less than 80mA current draw and come in 3x3mm DFN packages.
