SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MRFIC Line
The MRFIC2401 is a GaAs low–noise amplifier and downmixer in a low–cost
16 lead plastic package designed for use in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz Industrial–
Scientific–Medical (ISM) band. The design is optimized for efficiency at 5.0 Volt
operation at 2.45 GHz but is usable from 2.0 to 3.0 GHz in applications such as
telemetry and Multichannel Multipoint Distribution System (MMDS) wireless
cable TV systems. Performance is suitable for frequency hopping or direct
sequence spread spectrum as well as single–frequency applications. LNA
output and mixer input are available to allow image filtering.
