In summary, in most radio architectures, the LNA is first active component to interface with the radiated signals in the air. The received signal is usually very low in signal strength, the LNA is designed to amplify these signals while contributing as little noise as possible to drive the next stage. Skyworks family of LNAs range from high performance devices to low power devices. They feature small form factor and achieve a low noise figure and good linearity. Skyworks also offers a wide variety of general use amplifiers. There are gain blocks from the SKY6501x-70LF family that operate from 100 MHz up to 6 GHz with no external matching required. Customized high linearity matched amplifiers that can be optimized for low noise performance are also offered. These devices can be used in many applications from automotive, smart energy, and infrastructure to medical and military applications.
