Multi-stage base station introduced

VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE


NXP Semiconductors N.V. has introduced the BGU706x series of multi-stage base station LNAs with variable gain featuring the industry’s lowest noise figure of 0.9 dB for a receive chain in silicon. The architecture of the LNA is based on the integration of a very low-noise LNA with a bypass function followed by an analog-controlled variable gain amplifier (VGA). These BGU706x low-noise amplifiers deliver high linearity, while saving up to 80 percent in component count.
Kees Schetters, Director of Marketing, Wireless Infrastructure, NXP Semiconductors said, “Wireless infrastructure today faces a challenge as mobile data communications rapidly overtake voice communications. With its very low noise figure, our new multi-stage LNAs enable larger cell coverage, helping operators realize significant CAPEX and OPEX savings by reducing the total number of base stations required. By simplifying design-in, the LNAs also enable engineers to focus more on pushing the performance limits of their applications to achieve a significant competitive edge.”
