ALM-1322
1.8-2.2GHz Very Low Noise High Gain Balanced Amplifier Module
Data Sheet
Description
Features
Avago Technologies’ ALM-1322 is a very low noise, high
gain balanced amplifier module operating in the 1.8 to
2.2GHz frequency range. The exceptional noise perfor-
mance is achieved through the use of Avago Technolo-
gies’proprietary 0.5um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT
process.
• Very Low noise figure
• High Gain
[1]
• GaAs E-pHEMT Technology
• 50Ω internal matching

The ALM-1322 is housed in a miniature 5.0 x 6.0 x 1.1 mm
22-leadmultiple-chips-on-board(MCOB)modulepackage.
The compact footprint and low profile makes this product
an ideal choice for Wireless Infrastructure Basestation
Tower-Mounted Amplifiers (TMA), Radiocards and Multi-
Carrier Driver Amplifiers in the cellular/PCS/CDMA bands.
• Excellent uniformity in product specifications
• Tape-and-Reel packaging option available
• MSL-2a and Lead-free
• Point MTTF > 300 years at 120°C channel temperature

Notes:
1. Enhancement mode technology employs positive gate voltage,
thereby eliminating the need of negative gate voltage associated
with conventional depletion mode devices.
Attention: ꢀbserve precautions for
handling electrostatic sensitive devices.
