Low Noise, High Linearity Amplifier Module
with Fail-Safe Bypass Feature
Data Sheet
Description
Avago Technologies’ ALM-11036 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’ propri-
etary 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-11036
extremely easy to use as the only external parts are DC
supply bypass capacitors. For optimum performance
at other bands, ALM-11136 (870-915 MHz), ALM-11236
(1710-1850 MHz) and ALM-11336 (1850-1980) are recom-
mended. All ALM-11x36 share the same package and pin
out configuration.
