Skyworks Introduces High Gain LNA for Small Cell, Cellular 5G NR, & Base Station Applications

Skyworks Solutions has announced the release of a new high gain low noise amplifier (LNA), the SKY67181-396LF. Designed to meet the challenging requirements of cellular LTE and 5G NR infrastructure applications, the LNA features ultra-low-noise figure, high gain, and operates over a wide range of frequencies.

Featuring an ultra-compact 2 x 2 mm plastic surface mount package to reduce PCB board space, SKY67181-396LF is pin-to-pin compatible with the previously released SKY67183-396LF and SKY67189-396LF. These LNAs are ideal for 2G/3G/4G/5G TDD and FDD infrastructure applications, including small cell, massive MIMO, and macro base stations.

Key Specs of the SKY67181-396LF LNA:

  • High gain which may eliminate a gain stage from the design
  • Very low noise figure
  • Exceptional linearity and superior gain flatness
  • Wide freq. of operation, supporting 2.3 – 5 GHz signals
  • Fast turn on/off time to enable fast 5G TDD switching
  • 2 x 2 mm ultra-compact packaging
