Product Description
The RF2304 is a low-noise small-signal amplifier. The device is manufactured on a
low-cost Gallium Arsenide MESFET process, and has been designed for use as a
gain block in high-end communication systems operating from less than 300MHz
to above 2.5GHz. With +6dBm output power, it may also be used as a driver in
transmitter applications, or in highly linear receivers. The device is packaged in an
8-lead plastic package and is self-contained, requiring just an inductor and block-
ing capacitors to operate. The +6dBm output power, combined with the 1.8dB
noise figure at 900MHz allows excellent dynamic range for a variety of receive and
transmit applications.
