Skyworks Announces LNA FEM for GPS Applications - RF CafeSkyworks is pleased to introduce the SKY65903-11, a new low-noise amplifier, front-end module with integrated pre- and post- filters for GPS receiver applications. This 1559-1606 MHz high performance module is idea for global positioning and navigation satellite systems in end products such as fitness/activity trackers, watches, pet trackers, smartphones and tablets. The device features high linearity, excellent gain, and a low noise figure for improved signal-to-noise ratio. Integrated pre- and post-filters provide low in-band insertion loss and excellent rejection for the cellular, PCS, and WLAN frequency bands. Low current consumption extends battery life and single DC supply simplifies design and minimizes board layout. Its compact 16-pin, 2.5 x 2.5 mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package allows for a highly manufacture-able and low-cost solution.

SKY65903-11 Features

  • Small signal gain: 14.2 dB
  • In-band IIP3: –7.3 dBm
  • Low noise figure: 1.7 dB
  • Low current consumption
  • Input/output impedance internally matched to 50 Ω
  • Single DC supply: 1.8 V
  • No external SMT required
  • Small, MCM (16-pin, 2.5 x 2.5 mm) package (MSL1, 260°C per JEDEC J-STD-020)

The SKY65903-11 is a front-end module (FEM) with an integrated low-noise amplifier (LNA), and pre- and post-filters designed for Global Positioning System / Global Navigation Satellite System / Beidou Navigation Satellite System (GPS/GNSS/BDS) receiver applications. The device provides high linearity, excellent gain, and a low noise figure (NF).

The pre- and post-filters provide low in-band insertion loss and excellent rejection for the cellular, PCS, and WLAN frequency bands.

The SKY65903-11 uses surface-mount technology (SMT) in the form of a 2.5 x 2.5 mm Multi-Chip Module (MCM) package, which allows for a highly manufacturable and low-cost solution.
