Evaluation board for BGU8011 GNSS

NXP Semiconductors' BGU8011 is a low noise amplifier for GNSS receiver applications in a plastic, leadless 6 pin, extremely thin small outline SOT1230 at 1.1 x 0.9 x 0.5mm³, 0.4mm pitch. The BGU8011 features gain of 16.3 dB and a noise figure of 0.65 dB at a current consumption of 4.4 mA. Its superior linearity performance removes interference and noise from co-habitation cellular transmitters, while retaining sensitivity. The LNA components occupy a total area of approximately 8.4 mm².

In this document, the application diagram, board layout, bill of materials, and typical results are given, as well as some explanations on GNSS related performance parameters like out-of-band input third-order intercept point O_IIP3, gain compression under jamming and noise under jamming.
