RF2304
GENERAL PURPOSE LOW-NOISE AMPLIFIER
• Receive or Transmit Low-Noise Amplifiers
• FDD and TDD Communication Systems
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery Powered Equipment
• Wireless LAN
• ISM Band Applications
The RF2304 is a low-noise small-signal amplifier. The
device is manufactured on a low-cost Gallium Arsenide
MESFET process, and has been designed for use as a
gain block in high-end communication systems operating
from less than 300MHz to above 2.5GHz. With +6dBm
output power, it may also be used as a driver in transmit-
ter applications, or in highly linear receivers. The device is
packaged in an 8-lead plastic package and is self-con-
tained, requiring just an inductor and blocking capacitors
to operate. The +6dBm output power, combined with the
1.8dB noise figure at 900MHz allows excellent dynamic
range for a variety of receive and transmit applications.
• Single 2.7V to 6.0V Supply
• 6dBm Output Power
• 8dB Small Signal Gain at 900MHz
• 1.8dB Noise Figure at 900MHz
• Low DC Current Consumption of 5mA
• 300MHz to 2500MHz Operation
