GENERAL PURPOSE AMPLIFIER
• Broadband, Low Noise Gain Blocks
• IF or RF Buffer Amplifiers
• Driver Stage for Power Amplifiers
• Final PA for Low Power Applications
• High Reliability Applications
• Broadband Test Equipment
The RF2046 is a general purpose, low cost RF amplifier
IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium
Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) pro-
cess, and has been designed for use as an easily-cas-
cadable 50
Ω gain block. Applications include IF and RF
amplification in wireless voice and data communication
products operating in frequency bands up to 3000MHz.
The device is self-contained with 50
Ω input and output
impedances and requires only two external DC biasing
elements to operate as specified. With a goal of
enhanced reliability, the extremely small Micro-X ceramic
package offers significantly lower thermal resistance than
similar size plastic packages.
• DC to 3000MHz Operation
• Internally matched Input and Output
• 22dB Small Signal Gain
• 3.0dB Noise Figure
• 10mW Linear Output Power
• Single Positive Power Supply
