CXG1082EN
Receive Dual Low Noise Amplifier/Mixer
Description
The CXG1082EN is a receive dual low noise amplifier/
mixer MMIC. This IC is designed using the Sony’s
GaAs J-FET process.
Features
• High conversion gain:Gp = 17dB (LNA Typ.)
Gc = 11 to 12dB (MIX Typ.)
• Low noise figure: NF = 1.5dB (LNA Typ.)
NF = 4.2dB (MIX Typ.)
• Single 3V power supply operation
• Low LO input power operation PLO = –15dBm
• Single CTL pin achieved by the built-in inverter
circuit
• 16-pin VSON package
