ALM-1522
700 – 1100 MHz Low Noise, High Gain, High Linearity
Balanced Amplifier Module
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ ALM-1522 is a low noise, high gain
and high linearity balanced amplifier module operating in
the 700MHz to 1100MHz frequency range. The exception-
al noise and linearity performance are achieved through
the use of Avago Technologies’ proprietary 0.25um GaAs
Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.
The ALM – 1522 is housed in a miniature 5.0 x 6.0 x 1.1
mm³ 22-lead multiple-chips-on-board (MCOB) module
package. The compact footprint and low profile makes
the ALM-1522 an ideal choice for Wireless Infrastructure
Basestation Tower-Mounted-Amplifiers (TMA), Radiocard
Receivers, Multi-Carrier Driver Amplifiers for GSM, CDMA,
W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA base stations operating in the
700MHz to 1100MHz band.
