ALM-11136 - Avago Technologies

ALM-11136
870 MHz – 915 MHz
Low Noise, High Linearity Amplifier Module
with Fail-Safe Bypass Feature
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies’ ALM-11136 is an easy-to-use GaAs
MMIC Tower Mount Amplifier (TMA) LNA Module with low
IL bypass path. The module has low noise and high linearity
achieved through the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25 mm GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.
All matching components are fully integrated within the
module and the 50 ohm RF input and output pins are
already internally AC-coupled. This makes the ALM-11136
extremely easy to use as the only external parts are DC
supply bypass capacitors. For optimum performance
at other bands, ALM-11036 (776-870 MHz), ALM-11236
(1710-1850 MHz) and ALM-11336 (1850-1980) are recommended. All ALM-11x36 share the same package and pin
out configuration.

Notes:
1. Measurements at 915 MHz obtained using demo board described in Figure 1.
2. For NF data, board losses of the input have not been de-embedded.
3. IIP3 test condition: FRF1 = 915 MHz, FRF2 = 916 MHz with input power of -15 dBm per tone.
4. Use proper bias, heatsink and derating to ensure maximum channel temperature is not exceeded. See absolute maximum ratings and application
note for more details.
