Product Description
The TQ9132B amplifier is an 800-2500 MHz amplifier capable of providing moderate
output power (50 mW) for a wide variety of transmit and receive applications. The
amplifier’s input and output are matched to 50 Ω with internal circuitry, simplifying
interfaces to 50 Ω systems. In addition, DC blocking capacitors are included on chip,
permitting direct connections to the input and output. Its 8-pin surface mount
package and low cost are well suited to many wireless communications applications.
