HIGH ISOLATION BUFFER AMPLIFIER
• Local Oscillator Buffer Amplifiers
• FDD and TDD Communication Systems
• Commercial and Consumer Systems
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
•Wireless LAN
• ISM Band Applications
The RF2301 is a high reverse isolation buffer amplifier.
The device is manufactured on a low-cost Gallium Ars-
enide MESFET process, and has been designed for use
as a general purpose buffer in high-end communication
systems operating at frequencies from less than 300MHz
to higher than 2500MHz. With +5 dBm output power, it
may also be used as a driver in transmitter applications.
Thedevice ispackaged inan8-leadplastic package. The
product is self-contained, requiring just a resistor and
blocking capacitors to operate. The output power, com-
bined with 50dB reverse isolation at 900MHz allows
excellent buffering of LO sources to impedance changes.
The device can be used in 3 V battery applications. The
unit has a total gain of 17dB with only 14 mA current from
a 3V supply.
• Single 2.7V to 6.0V Supply
• +4dBm Output Power
• 21dB Small Signal Gain
• 50dB Reverse Isolation at 900MHz
• Low DC Current Consumption of 14mA
• 300MHz to 2500MHz Operation
