ALM-GA001 - AVAGO

ALM-GA001 Low Current Low Noise Amplifier

Avago Technologies’ ALM-GA001 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 .
