Product Description
Features
The SPF5043Z is a high performance pHEMT MMIC LNA designed for
operation from 50MHz to 4000MHz. The on-chip active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process threshold voltage variations. The SPF5043Z offers ultra-low noise figure and high linearity
performance in a gain block configuration. Its single-supply operation and
integrated matching networks make implementation remarkably simple.
The high maximum input power specification makes it ideal for high
dynamic range receivers.
