Skyworks launches BDS/GPS/GLONASS/Galileo LNA front-end modules with integrated filters

Skyworks Solutions Inc of Woburn, MA, USA (which manufactures analog and mixed-signal semiconductors) has launched two new low-noise amplifier (LNA) front-end modules (FEMs) with integrated filters for global navigation satellite systems (GNSS).

The devices provide what is claimed to be high linearity, excellent gain, a high 1dB input compression point (IP1dB), and a superior noise figure (NF). The pre-filters provide the low in-band insertion loss and integrated notch filtering for what is claimed to be excellent rejection of desired frequency bands.

Each device is supplied in small-footprint, surface-mount technology multichip module (MCM) packaging (1.1mm x 1.5mm x 0.7mm for the SKY65713-11 and 1.7mm x 2.3mm x 0.7mm for the SKY65715-81). 

The SKY65713-11 and SKY65715-81 both support products integrating GNSS (global navigation satellite system) functionality such as smartphones, personal navigation devices, wearables, machine-to-machine (M2M) systems, base stations, asset tracking instruments, professional radios and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
