NJG1108HA8
GNSS LOW NOISE AMPLIFIER
I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The NJG1108HA8
is a low noise amplifier GaAs MMIC designed for
GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems). This amplifier provides
low noise figure, high gain and high IP3 operated by single low positive
power supply. This IC has the function of Stand-by mode. The
NJG1108HA8 can be tuned to wide frequency from 1.5GHz to 2.7GHz
by changing the external matching components.
An ultra-small and ultra-thin package of
the USB6-A8 is adopted.
I
APPLICATIONS
GNSS application, like GPS,Galileo,GLONASS and COMPASS
W-LAN and WiMAX application
Note: Please check the Application Note for WLAN and WiMAX
.

VINV
Power supply pin of the inverter circuit.
RF Output and voltage supply pin. External matching circuits and a bypass
capacitor is required. L3 is a RF choke inductor. These elements are used as
output matching circuit.
Ground pin. To keep good RF grounding performance, please use multiple via
holes to connect with ground plane and this pin.)
RF input pin. A DC blocking capacitor is not required. An external matching
circuit is required.
Ground pin. To keep good RF grounding performance, please use multiple via
holes to connect with ground plane and this pin.)
Control voltage input pin. This control pin is set to high. LNA suffers from
standby state when LNA puts the changeover voltage of "Low" in a state of
movement when the changeover voltage of "High" is put in this terminal.
