EDS-102501 Rev B

Preliminary

The Sirenza Microdevices’ SLX-2143 is a low noise ampli-

fier module operating in the 1700 - 2200 MHz frequency

band. This device has been optimized to serve high linear-

ity base station applications where a high intercept point is

required with low noise figure. The SLX-2143 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.
