At 1.95 GHz, the amplifier typically provides 20 dB gain, +35 dBm OIP3, and 0.4 dB noise figure while drawing 70 mA current from a +5 V supply. This amplifier does not require a negative supply for operation and can be biased from a single positive supply ranging from +3.3 to +5 volts. The device is housed in a green/RoHS-compliant industry-standard 2 x 2 mm package. The TQP3M9037 is internally matched using a high performance E-pHEMT process and only requires four external components for operation from a single positive supply: an external RF choke and blocking/bypass capacitors. This low noise amplifier contains an internal active bias to maintain high performance over temperature and integrates a shut-down biasing capability to allow for operation for TDD applications. The TQP3M9037 covers the 0.7 - 6.0 GHz frequency band and is targeted for wireless infrastructure. It is pin compatible with the low-band, 0.4-2.0 GHz TQP3M9036.

Resistors are not needed if shut-down functionality is not used. Notes: 1. See Evaluation Board PCB Information section for material and stack-up. 2. R3 (0 jumper) is not shown on the schematic and may be replaced with copper trace in the target application layout. 3. All components are of 0402 size unless stated on the schematic. 4. C1, C2, and C3 are non-critical values. The reactive impedance should be as low as possible at the frequency of operation for optimal performance. 5. The L1 value is non-critical and needs to provide high reactive impedance at the frequency of operation. 6. R1 and R2 are optional and do not need to be loaded if the shut-down functionality is not needed; i.e. FDD applications. If R1 and R2 are not loaded, the LNA will operate in its standard "ON" state. 7. A through line is included on the evaluation board to de-embed the board losses.

The device is biased at 3.3V Vdd. At this bias voltage the device draws about 45mA Idd but the OIP3 drops by almost 5dB. To improve the linearity performance an external bias is introduced to the input port by a resistive divider tied to the 3.3V. This results in increased current draw of about 60mA and the OIP3 is up by 5dB.

The Vdd is kept at +5V and to reduce the current a shunt resistor of 36K ohms is added at the input pin. This drops the gate voltage of the input transistor and hence bringing the bias point of the LNA down.
