1575MHz GPS Front-End Amplifier
General Description
The MAX12000 GPS front-end amplifier IC is designed for marine GPS satellite navigation antenna modules or for any application that needs to pensate for cable losses from the GPS antenna to receiver. Two unconditionally stable low-noise amplifier stages provide the high gain and integrated I/O matching to minimize the need for external matching ponents and eliminate the need for additional gain stages. The MAX12000 Features the option to place a bandpass ceramic or SAW filter between the two amplifier stages to provide a narrow-band output to further improve the noise performance of the GPS...
