BGS8H2
SiGe:C low-noise amplifier MMIC with bypass switch for LTE
Rev. 4 — 20 August 2018 Product data sheet
1 General description
The BGS8H2 is a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with bypass switch for LTE receiver
applications, available in a small plastic 6-pin extremely thin leadless package. The
BGS8H2 requires one external matching inductor.
The BGS8H2 delivers system-optimized gain for both primary and diversity applications
where sensitivity improvement is required. The high linearity of these low noise devices
ensures the required receive sensitivity independent of cellular transmit power level in
FDD (Frequency Division Duplex) systems. When receive signal strength is sufficient,
the BGS8H2 can be switched off to operate in bypass mode at a 1 µA current, to lower
power consumption.
The BGS8H2 is optimized for 2300 MHz to 2690 MHz.
