RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the Skyworks Solutions SKY65903-11, front-end module (FEM) featuring a low-noise amplifier and integrated pre- and post- filters for GPS receiver applications. Designed for high performance in the frequency range of 1559 to 1606 MHz, this Skyworks module ideal for global positioning and navigation satellite systems in end products such as fitness/activity trackers, watches, pet trackers, smartphones and tablets.
The SKY65903-11 features in-band IIP3 of -7.3 dBm, small signal gain of 14.2 dB and noise figure of 1.7 dB for improved signal-to-noise ratio. Integrated pre- and post-filters provide low in-band insertion loss and excellent rejection (76 dBc at 2.4 GHz) for the cellular, PCS, and WLAN frequency bands. Low current consumption of 2.8 mA extends battery life and single DC supply simplifies design and minimizes board layout. A compact 16-pin, 2.5 x 2.5 mm multi-chip module (MCM) package requiring only an external capacitor and inductor allows for a highly manufactureable and low-cost solution.
