RF2411

The RF2411 is a monolithic integrated UHF receiver front-end. The IC contains all of the required components to implement the RF functions of the receiver except for the passive filtering and LO generation. RF2411 contains an LNA (low-noise amplifier), a second RF amplifier, and a balanced mixer which can drive a single-ended or balanced load. The output of the LNA RF2411 is made available as a pin to permit the insertion of a bandpass filter between the LNA and the RF/Mixer section. The LNA output is buffered to permit a wide range of choices for the interstage filter without altering the VSWR or noise figure at the LNA input and to provide high isolation from the LO to the input port. The LNA section may be disabled to conserve power.
