EDS-102501 Rev B
Preliminary
The Sirenza Microdevices’ SLX-2143 is a low noise ampli-
fier module operating in the 1700 - 2200 MHz frequency
band. This device has been optimized to serve high linear-
ity base station applications where a high intercept point is
required with low noise figure. The SLX-2143 uses PHEMT
device technology, internal bias circuitry, and proven
ceramic module technology to yield a high performance
product with proven reliability. Internal RF matching is also
included on both the input and output to provide an easy to
implement, unconditionally stable, 50 ohm circuit block.
