GPS Low Noise Amplifier With Variable Bias Current And Shutdown Function

Avago Technologiess ALM-1106 is a LNA designed for GPs ISM/Wimax applications in the (0.9-3.5)GHz frequency range. The LNA uses Agilent Technologiess proprietary GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain operation with very low noise figures and high linearity. Noise figure distribution is very tightly controlled. Gain and supply current are guaranteed parameters. A CMOS compatible shutdown pin is included to turn the LNA off and provide a variable bias. The ALM-1106 LNA is useable down to 1V operation. It achieves low noise figures and high gain even at 1V, making it suitable for use in critical low power GPs ISM band applications.
