    UM10491 NXP Semiconductors BGU7004 GPS LNA EVB 1. Introduction NXP Semiconductors’ BGU7004 is an AEC-Q100 qualified low-noise amplifier for GPS receiver applications in a plastic, leadless 6 pin, extremely thin small outline SOT886 package. It has a gain of 16.5 dB gain and a noise figure of 0.8 dB, It has superior linearity performance to suppress interference and noise from co-habitation cellular transmitters while retaining sensitivity.
  • Page 4: General Description

    UM10491 NXP Semiconductors BGU7004 GPS LNA EVB 2. General description NXP Semiconductors’ BGU7004 GPS low noise amplifier is dedicated for the GPS frequency band. The integrated biasing circuit is temperature stabilized, which maintains a constant current over temperature. It also enables the superior linearity performance of the BGU7004.

    UM10491 NXP Semiconductors BGU7004 GPS LNA EVB Fig 6. O-IIP3 at V = 1.5 V Fig 7. O-IIP3 at V = 1.8 V Fig 8. O-IIP3 at V = 2.85 V 6.2 In-band 1dB gain compression due to 850 MHz and 1850 MHz jammers As already stated before, signal levels in the GPS frequency band of –130 dBm average will not cause linearity problems in the GPS band itself.
  • Page 10 UM10491 NXP Semiconductors BGU7004 GPS LNA EVB Fig 9. Setup for 1 dB compression with jammers The gain was measured in the GPS frequency band between port 1 and 2, while simultaneously a jammer power signal was swept on port 3. Please note that the drive power of the jammer is 20 dB lower at the input of the DUT caused by the directional coupler.
