ALM-2203
SDARS LNA Module
Product Brief
Description
Avago Technologies’ ALM-2203 is an ultra low-noise front-
end module that combines three low-noise amplifiers
(LNA) with a Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR) filter into
a 5mm x 5mm Molded Chip On Board (MCOB) package
for use in Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) ra-
dios. The LNAs use Avago Technologies’ proprietary GaAs
Enhancement-mode pHEMT process to achieve high gain
with very low noise figure and high linearity. Noise figure
distribution is very tightly controlled. The integrated filter
utilizes an Avago Technologies’ leading-edge FBAR filter
for exceptional rejection.
The low noise figure and high gain, coupled with low cur-
rent consumption make it suitable for use in critical low-
power SDARS applications.
