The RF2360 is a general purpose, low-cost, high-linearity
RF amplifier IC. The device is manufactured on a Gallium
Arsenide process and is featured in an SOP-16 batwing
package. It has been designed for use as an easily cas-
cadable 75Ω gain block with a Noise Figure of less than
2dB. Gain flatness better than 0.5dB from 5MHz to
1000MHz, and high linearity make this part ideal for cable
TV applications. Other applications include IF and RF
amplification in wireless voice and data communication
products operating in frequency bands up to 1000MHz.
The device is self-contained with 75Ω input and output
impedances providing less than 2:1 VSWR matching. For
higher input and output return losses, see the evaluation
schematic.
