ASL563

High Gain, Low Noise Amplifier

1) Total gain is sum of the 1st stage and 2nd stage amplifiers (not include filter loss).

2) NF is that of the 1st stage amplifier.

3) S11 is that of the 1st stage amplifier and S22 is that of the 2nd stage amplifier.

4) OIP3 is that of the 2nd stage amplifier measured with two tones at an output power of +0 dBm/tone separated

by 1MHz.

5) Total current is the sum of the 1st stage and the 2nd stage amplifiers.
