Application
The BGA855N6 is designed to enhance GNSS signal sensitivity for band L2/L5 especially for very high accuracy.
Besides GPS L5 and L2, the GNSS LNA also covers Galileo E5a, E5b, E6, Glonass G3, G2 and Beidou B3 and B2
bands. The high linearity performance of BGA855N6 ensures best sensitivity for the operation in 4G & 5G NSA
configurations.
Product Validation
Qualified for industrial applications according to the relevant tests of JEDEC47/20/22

BGA855N6
Low Noise Amplifier for Lower L-Band GNSS Applications
Features
Description
The BGA855N6 is a front-end low noise amplifier for GPS L5 and L2, Galileo E5a, E5b, E6, Glonass G3, G2 and
Beidou B3 and B2 bands for a frequency range from 1164 MHz to 1300 MHz. The LNA provides 17.8 dB gain and
0.60 dB noise figure at a current consumption of 4.8 mA in the application configuration described in Chapter 4.
The BGA855N6 is based upon Infineon Technologies‘ B9HF Silicon Germanium technology. It operates from 1.1 V
to 3.3 V supply voltage (device optimized for 1.8V operation / also prepared to support 1.2V and 2.8V operation).
OFF-state can be enabled by PON pin.
