MML25231HT1
Low Noise Amplifier
The MML25231H is a single--stage low noise amplifier (LNA) with active
bias and high isolation for use in cellular infrastructure applications. It is
designed for a range of low noise, high linearity applications such as picocell,
femtocell, tower mounted amplifiers (TMA) and receiver front--end circuits. It
operates from a single voltage supply and is suitable for applications with
frequencies from 1000 to 4000 MHz such as CDMA, W--CDMA and LTE.
