Description

The F6923 is an ultra-low power consumption, dual-channel, low

noise amplifier (LNA) RFIC designed for application in Ku-band

planar phased array antennas. The exceptional combination of low

power consumption, low noise, high gain, and compact size,

maximizes the antenna array G/T while minimizing overall system

power dissipation. An externally supplied reference bias current is

used to trade LNA power consumption against P1dB and gain,

completely shut off (idle) the amplifier during operation or for gain

compensation versus temperature.

The LNA is supplied in a compact 23-pin, 0.5mm pitch BGA

package with 50Ω matched single-ended RF inputs and outputs for

ease of integration onto phased array antenna panels.
