QM14068
6.2 - 8.3 GHz Ultra-Wideband (UWB) LNA with bypass Switch
The Qorvo® QM14068 is a low noise amplifier (LNA) designed for UWB systems. The integrated input and output 50 ohm match minimizes layout area in the customer's application, reduces the bill of materials and manufacturability cost. Performance is focused on a balance of low noise and gain that increases the receive sensitivity and therefore the relative distzance between anchors and tags in a RTLS environment. The QM14068 integrates a bypass function with low losses.
Control is operated with a single pin with easy Software control from Qorvo UWB transceivers.
The device is provided in a 1 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.52 mm package.
