The RF2320 is a general purpose, low-cost, high-linearity
RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on a Gallium
Arsenide process and is featured in an SOP-16 batwing
package. It has been designed for use as an easily cas-
cadable 75鈩?gain block with a noise figure of less than
2dB. Gain flatness better than 0.5dB from 5MHz to
1000MHz, and high linearity make this part ideal for cable
TV applications. Other applications include IF and RF
amplification in wireless voice and data communication
products operating in frequency bands up to 2500MHz.
The device is self-contained with 75鈩?input and output
impedances providing 2:1 VSWR matching. For higher
input and output return losses, see the evaluation sche-
matic.
