Overview
The BGU7224X, produced by NXP USA Inc., is a fully integrated 2.4 GHz ISM SiGe:C low-noise amplifier (LNA) MMIC designed for wireless receiver applications. This component is manufactured using NXP's high-performance SiGe:C technology, which ensures best-in-class gain, noise figure, linearity, and efficiency. The BGU7224X features a robust temperature-compensated internal bias network and an integral bypass/shutdown feature, making it ideal for space-sensitive applications such as IEEE 802.11b/g/n (including 256 QAM enabling “802.11n turbo”) WiFi and WLAN systems.
