The RF2311 is a general purpose, low cost low power RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) process, and has been designed for use as an easily cascadable 50 gain block. Applications include IF and RF amplification in wireless voice and data communication products operating in frequency bands up to 1600MHz. The gain flatness and high bandwidth make the device suitable for many other applications as well. The device is self-contained with 50 input and output impedances, and no external DC biasing elements are required to operate as specified.
