LNA targets high volume, power-sensitive apps

Sirenza Microdevices announced the production release of two new SiGe low noise amplifiers (LNAs). The SGL-0622Z is a two-stage, fully-matched RFIC offering exceptional broadband performance from 5MHz to 4,000MHz, while the SGL-0363Z is a single-stage LNA designed for narrowband applications between 5MHz and 2,000MHz.

"These new low noise amplifiers are ideal for GPS, ISM and WiMAX applications," said Jeff Gudewicz, Sirenza's strategic business unit director for standard products. "The exceptional performance, low power consumption and low cost make them well-suited for high volume, battery-powered applications."

Both the SGL-0622Z and SGL-0363Z LNAs are available in ROHS- and WEEE-compliant packaging options.
