Product Overview

The RFS-L5-012 is a highly integrated RF front-end (FEM) chip that combines a limiter, a low-noise amplifier and two-stage SAW filters in a single compact package, operating in the 1166–1187 MHz satellite navigation band (L5). With high resistance to RF power burnout, low noise figure, high gain, high linearity and high out-of-band rejection, it is an ideal front-end solution for satellite navigation receivers.
