DESCRIPTION
The SA3603 is an integrated Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) and mixer
designed in a 30 GHz f
advanced BICMOS process, Qubic3, for
T
high-performance low power Cellular-band communication systems.
The LNA has a 1.6 dB noise figure at 881 MHz with 17.5 dB gain
and an IIP3 intercept of –4 dBm. The single-ended input, single
balanced mixer has a 9.5 dB noise figure with 7.5 dB gain and IIP3
of +6.0 dBm at 881 MHz.
FEATURES
•Integrated LNA output matching
•Excellent gain stability versus temperature and supply voltage
•LNA, mixer and LO buffer power down capability
APPLICATIONS
•IS-136 Standard systems
•Wireless radios

Definitions
Short-form specification — The data in a short-form specification is extracted from a full data sheet with the same type number and title. For
detailed information see the relevant data sheet or data handbook.
Limiting values definition — Limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134). Stress above one
or more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation of the device at these or
at any other conditions above those given in the Characteristics sections of the specification is not implied. Exposure to limiting values for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
