Technical Specifications

The IAM-91563-TR1 typically has a noise figure of around 0.7 dB, a gain of around 20 dB, and an output IP3 (Third-Order Intercept Point) of around 35 dBm. It operates from a 5V power supply. Refer to the official Broadcom/Agilent datasheet for IAM-91563-TR1 for precise electrical characteristics, S-parameters, and application circuit examples.

The LNA is fabricated using a high-performance GaAs pHEMT process to achieve low noise and high linearity. It is internally biased and matched to 50 ohms, simplifying integration into RF systems. The device is typically packaged in a small surface-mount package for space-saving applications.
