Features
Description
The BGA725L6 is a front-end low noise amplifier for Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) from 1550 MHz
to 1615 MHz like GPS, GLONASS, Beidou, Galileo and others. The LNA provides 20.0 dB gain and 0.65 dB noise
figure at a current consumption of 3.6 mA in the application configuration described in Chapter 3. The BGA725L6
is based upon Infineon Technologies‘ B7HF Silicon Germanium technology. It operates from 1.5 V to 3.6 V supply
voltage.
