This high dynamic range amplifier module provides 20 dB of gain, 2.9 dB noise figure and up to +22 dBm of output IP3 from a single +3V supply. The wideband amplifier I/Os are internally matched to 50 Ohms and DC blocked for robust performance. The module features positive gain slope, and consistent noise figure and output power performance across its operating band. Electrical Specifications, TA = +25 C, Vdc = +3V Parameter Min. Frequency Range Gain 17 Max.
