RF Transistors
Looking to design a low noise amplifier. Be it in sub GHz frequencies or higher frequencies up to 12 GHz. We have got you covered ! Infineon Technologies offers one of the widest portfolio of radio frequency transistors which offer exceptionally low NF, high gain, and high linearity at low power consumption levels. The transistors could be used in automotive applications (car antenna) , GNSS, Wireless infrastructure , mobile communication infrastructure , consumer appliances such as LCD TV, set-top boxes, industrial electronics such as automation, lighting , and the list goes on. Along with providing a wide portfolio, our products offer outstanding quality and reliability , assuring long term supply while still having an attractive price.
Antenna tuners
With the fast adoption of 5G technology, more antennas need to cover even more frequency bands within limited space. This can potentially affect antenna performance and result in higher design complexity. Antenna tuners help address these challenges to ensure fast and stable wireless connection everywhere. Infineon antenna tuners can be found in a variety of applications, such as smartphones, laptops, smartwatches, mobile routers, smart metering or asset tracking devices. In this forum, you can post your questions about Infineon antenna tuners and the coupler to find support from the community for your next project.
Low Noise Amplifiers
A low noise amplifier (LNA) amplifies a very low-power signal without significantly degrading its signal-to-noise ratio. When regular amplifiers amplify signals, additional noise is often introduced to the system. However, by using an electronic LNA, this noise can be significantly reduced. Infineon’s range of low noise amplifier ICs improve receiver sensitivity and thereby achieve the ultimate user experience. Our portfolio of MMIC RF LNAs is continuously updated to satisfy the ever-changing market requirements with custom made products for each application. Highly integrated in the smallest package, our LNA MMICs come with ESD protection and low power consumption, ideal for battery-operated mobile devices. What's more, our innovative SiGe technology delivers lower noise than silicon alternatives and performance comparable to more expensive GaAs counterparts.
RF Switches
These microelectronic components may be applied for antenna and frequency band selection to optimize an RF system in size, cost and performance. Infineon has a broad range of RF switch configurations and performance capabilities in terms of insertion loss, isolation, switching speed and power handling. Our CMOS RF switches are offered in very compact and robust packages ready to surface mount on PCBs.

Hello everyone,
as for example the AS179-92LF, a SPDT switch up to 4 GHz, states that it is made of pHEMT GaAs FETs, there is no such information in the datasheet of the BGS14M8U9. Does anyone know if it is based on GaAs, GaN, Sic, FET or just MOSFET?
Apologies if that is something obvious, but I`m really new to semiconductors and material science.
Best regards
Show LessI would like to ask, what is the difference between BFP840ESD and BFP840FESD? What does an F mean?
There is only a difference in the conversion frequency and noise coefficient between the two on the data sheet, and the packaging is different. What are the other differences

Show LessI would like to check the possibility of using BGS18MA12 Rf switch for an RFID HF 13.56Mhz project.
I would like to use it to attached multiple antennas to a single transceiver and each time select a different antenna.
The issue is that the IC is rated with a minimum frequency of 100Mhz but regardless of this, I want to know if there is any chance that this IC will work in the RFID case?
IF not, is there a similar alternative to the BGS18MA12 that will work for the 13.56MHz band?
Thanks
Show LessHi,
I need a power amplifier that will be used in 4G LTE Band 65 (2100-2200 MHz). The power output needed is 1W.
The device will be used in a cubesat so high efficiency is also needed.
Is there any product that you can recommend me for such an application?
Thanks!
Show LessHello everyone, I have encountered a difficult problem. For the BGS18MA12 RFFE device, when using the MIPI1.1 Master for register access, the readback is always 0x00. The trigger power supply, MIPI voltage, and MIPI timing have all been checked. Are there any other possibilities, or does the device require any special registers to be set to perform MIPI reading and writing normally?

Show LessI wanted to check what suffix H6327 stand for in part number BAT6405W H6327
and if there is any link to this in the Infineon website for future reference, Thank you
Show LessHi Infineon
We know the BGA525N6 absolute maximum ratings for temperature (-40~-85) , can you tell us the recommended operating temperature conditions, thank you !

Hello,
I am trying to solder the BGS14M8U9 onto a PCB with a Pick & Place robot wich also dispenses the Paste. I`m looking for the right volume or mass of paste becaus of its impact on the line impedance
From the datasheet i can see that the stencil pad has a diameter of 0.25 mm but there is no information about the thickness or aspect ratio of the stencil for calculating the volume.
How can i calculate the right amount of solder paste?
Any recommendations or values based on experience?
Best regards.
Show LessHi,
I want to make a small signal analysis of the BGB707L7ESD. For this s2p files are provided.
In their measurement setup Vbias is decoupled from the RF path. However, in the reference designs of the design guide the Vbias pin is part of the RF matching.
So in order to make a proper simulation one would need a s1p file for that pin or some SPICE model. However, this is not offered by Infineon.
How should I proceed?
Thanks
Georg

Hello everyone,
I am working on my master thesis project developing a high frequency (<3 GHz) photodiode amplifier, and was wondering if someone could supply me with the PCB design files of any of the BFP dev boards. Unfortunately, distributors don't seem to have them in-stock, and I am planning to use it as a template to give me a head start and save me some time.
Best regards!
