GPS LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER WITH

INTEGRATED OUTPUT SAW FILTER

The RF2815 is a GPS Low Noise Amplifier with an integrated SAW filter at

the output. Low noise figure, along with high gain, achieved by the

RF2815 makes it ideal for GPS recievers requiring high sensitivity. This

module builds upon RFMD’s leading edge pHEMT process and integrates

input matching and low loss high rejection SAW filter at the output. This

results in high performance and a reduced solution size. The ease of

implementation simplifies the reciever design.

The RF2185 is packaged in a compact 3.3mmx2.1mmx1.0mm package

with low external component count required to achieve the best-in-class

performance.
