RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for an ultra low-noise amplifier with flat gain. The Qorvo QPL9503 provides a gain flatness of 2 dB (peak-to-peak) over a wide bandwidth from 3 to 6 GHz. At 5.5 GHz, the amplifier typically provides 21.6 dB gain, +35 dBm OIP3 at a 65 mA bias setting, and 0.9 dB noise figure. The LNA can be biased from a single positive supply ranging from 3.3 to 5 volts and is operational to 600MHz. Unconditionally stable, the QPL9503 integrates a shut-down control and is housed in a 2x2mm package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a linear amplifier with a large array of product features. The Qorvo QPA9801 operates over 1805 to 2400MHz with two, internal, low noise amplifiers in a balanced configuration utilizing two, internal, hybrid couplers. This offers designers excellent gain flatness of 0.1dB across a 100MHz bandwidth and 20dB of RF gain. Additionally, return loss is improved while inputs and outputs are matched to 50 ohms. With 26.4dBm P1dB and a shutdown mode, the QPA9801 lends itself to wireless infrastructure, macro base stations, booster amps and repeater applications.
