AH31
High Dynamic Range IF Amplifier
Product Information
The Communications Edge TM
Application Circuit: 220 – 260 MHz (AH31-PCB240)
Typical Performance
Frequency
240 MHz
Gain
19.3 dB
S11
-19 dB
S22
-12.5 dB
Output P1dB
+22 dBm
Output IP3
+42 dBm
Noise Figure
2.2 dB
Bias
+5 V @ 150 mA
Notes:
1. The amplifier should be connected directly to a +5 V regulator; no dropping resistor is required.
2. If no DC signal is present at the input (pin 1), C1 can be removed. The gate is internally grounded in the amplifier.
3. R2 is used as a placeholder for a different application circuit. It can be removed from the circuit.
4. C2 (from the silkscreen) is not utilized in this application circuit.
