Product Description
SLX-2043
The Stanford Microdevices’ SLX-2043 is a low noise ampli-
fier module operating in the 1700 - 2500 MHz frequency
band. This device has been optimized to serve high linear-
ity basestation applications where a high intercept point is
required with low noise figure. The SLX-2043 uses PHEMT
device technology, internal bias circuitry, and proven
ceramic module technology to yield a high performance
product with proven reliability. Internal RF matching is also
included on both the input and output to provide an easy to
implement, unconditionally stable, 50 ohm circuit block.
