TQP3M9037
Ultra Low-Noise, High Linearity LNA
®
General Description
The TQP3M9037 is a high-linearity, ultra-low noise gain
block amplifier in a small 2 x 2 mm surface-mount package.
At 1.95 GHz, the amplifier typically provides 20 dB gain,
+35 dBm OIP3, and 0.4 dB noise figure while drawing 70
mA current from a +5 V supply. This amplifier does not
require a negative supply for operation and can be biased
from a single positive supply ranging from +3.3 to +5 volts.
The device is housed in a green/RoHS-compliant industrystandard 2 x 2 mm package.
The TQP3M9037 is internally matched using a high
performance E-pHEMT process and only requires four
external components for operation from a single positive
supply: an external RF choke and blocking/bypass
capacitors. This low noise amplifier contains an internal
active bias to maintain high performance over temperature
and integrates a shut-down biasing capability to allow for
operation for TDD applications.
The TQP3M9037 covers the 0.7 – 6.0 GHz frequency band
and is targeted for wireless infrastructure. It is pin
compatible with the low-band, 0.4–2.0 GHz TQP3M9036.

See note 6. Resistors are
not needed if shut-down
functionality is not used.
Notes:
1. See Evaluation Board PCB Information section for material and stack-up.
2. R3 (0 Ω jumper) is not shown on the schematic and may be replaced with copper trace in the target application layout.
3. All components are of 0402 size unless stated on the schematic.
4. C1, C2, and C3 are non-critical values. The reactive impedance should be as low as possible at the frequency of operation for optimal performance.
5. The L1 value is non-critical and needs to provide high reactive impedance at the frequency of operation.
6. R1 and R2 are optional and do not need to be loaded if the shut-down functionality is not needed; i.e. FDD applications. If R1 and R2 are not loaded, the LNA will
operate in its standard “ON” state.
7. A through line is included on the evaluation board to de-embed the board losses.

+3.3 V VDD Performance Improvement with External Input Bias
This page shows performance data of TQP3M9037 tuned for better input return loss for B7 UL. The device is biased at 3.3V
Vdd. At this bias voltage the device draws about 45mA Idd but the OIP3 drops by almost 5dB. To improve the linearity
performance an external bias is introduced to the input port by a resistive divider tied to the 3.3V. This results in increased
current draw of about 60mA and the OIP3 is up by 5dB.

+5 V VDD Reduced Current Reference Design
This page shows performance data of TQP3M9037 with reduced current consumption of around 40mA. The Vdd is kept at
+5V and to reduce the current a shunt resistor of 36K ohms is added at the input pin. This drops the gate voltage of the
input transistor and hence bringing the bias point of the LNA down.

RF Input pin. A DC Block is required.
A high voltage turns off the device. If the pin is not connected or is less than 1V,
then the device will operate under its normal operating condition.
RF Output pin. DC bias will also need to be injected through a RF bias
choke/inductor for operation.
No electrical connection. Provide grounded land pads for PCB mounting integrity.
RF/DC ground. Use recommended via pattern to minimize inductance and thermal
resistance; see PCB Mounting Pattern for suggested footprint.

PCB Mounting Pattern
Notes:
1. All dimensions are in millimeters. Angles are in degrees.
2. Use 1 oz. copper minimum for top and bottom layer metal.
3. Vias are required under the backside paddle of this device for proper RF/DC grounding and thermal dissipation. We recommend
a 0.35mm (#80/.0135") diameter bit for drilling via holes and a final plated thru diameter of 0.25 mm (0.10”).
4. Ensure good package backside paddle solder attach for reliable operation and best electrical performance.
