1. Overview
Infineon Device:
BGB741L7ESD
Application:
WiMax LNA for 2.3GHz … 3.7GHz
2. Description:
BGB741L7ESD is a broadband featured RF transistor with integrated active biasing
circuit, feedback circuit and ESD protection. Due to Infineon’s excellent RF transistor
technologies, BGB741L7ESD still owns quite low noise figure of about 1.1 dB at 2.3
GHz and 1.25 dB at 3.7 GHz although a feedback circuit. Therefore BGB741L7ESD
is very suitable for WiMAX applications which require well-defined broadband
characteristics.
Figure 2-1: Overview of BGB741L7ESD
The Input and output matching are also integrated into the circuit. Therefore no
critical matching elements are required in the applications. Through the external
resistor RExt, it is easy to tune the current consumption of BGB741L7ESD in the
range of 6 mA to 12 mA. In this application example, 3.3 kΩ is used to achieve 11 mA.
