1 General description
The GPS1502L is a Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for GNSS receiver applications and
is available in a small plastic 6-pin extremely thin leadless package. The GPS1502L
requires only one external matching inductor.
The GPS1502L adapts itself to the changing environment resulting from co-habitation
of different radio systems in modern cellular handsets. It has been designed for low
power consumption and optimal performance when jamming signals from co-existing
cellular transmitters are present. At low jamming power levels, it delivers 17 dB gain
at a noise figure of 0.6 dB and a supply current of 4.2 mA. During high jamming power
levels, resulting, for example, from a cellular transmit burst, it temporarily increases its
bias current to improve sensitivity.
The GPS1502L is optimized for 1164 MHz to 1299 MHz.
