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.

Hi, I'm looking for the evaluation board of the LNA BGA9H1MN9. Does anyone know where I can find it? Thank you!
I am using an RF rectifier circuit that operates in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The ADS model number for the BAT15-03W can be found on the website [ https://www.infineon.com/cms/de/product/rf/rf-diode/rf-mixer-and- detector-schottky-diode/bat15-03w /?redirId =193197] .
If you try to add this model as a library as before, it will fail and display the following warning:
Seems like my ADS 2022 version doesn't support that file? Or is there another way to import a diode model into an ADS schematic? Thank you for your answer!

Show LessHi All,
I am trying to figure out the nonlinear model for the BAR90-02ELS diode. The H-Spice works fine for forward bias but not for reverse bias. Anyone has the parameters to make a Caverly model that works for the reverse bias as well. I am trying to simulate it in AWR and these are the parameters I would need.
Thank you

IKnee (Knee parameter for the current dependent tau)

We want to design with Infineon BGA9H1MN9 (Mid- and High-Band Low Noise Amplifier with Gain Steps and MIPI Control) that the data sheet featured follows the MIPI RFFE 2.1 standard. Unfortunately, the datasheet itself did not show the MIPI protocol, formatting, and timing diagram.
I attempted to download the MIPI RFFE 2.1 from mipi.org, but the site won’t allow me to be a member to download it.
We want to interface and access the registers of the BGA9H1MN9 using an FPGA. We need the details on the protocol, formatting, and timing diagram. How and what are the steps to get the MIPI RFFE 2.1 standard? Else, if there is a separate document for the BGA9H1MN9 that details the protocol, formatting, and timing diagram, where can I get that?
Thanks in advance for any help given.
Show LessDoes anyone know where I can download Mipistick.exe, which is the executable f to the Infineon MIPI RFFE Master (mipi stick) software and driver.
Show LessHi.
I am looking for varactor diode that has wide tuning range. Ideally the tuning range should be from 0.1pF to 4pF. Frequency of operation around 3.5GHz. Package should be surface mount package.
I see you have BB837/BB857..but not recommended for new design?
Thanks,
Ed
Show Lessgood day
I am trying to model BFP196WH6327XTSA1 in awr ,non linear model.But i am unsure how to add what files to awr ,tried using the spice files to model the noise figure but cant get it right so what i did was use gummel poon model in awr and manually added each value in awr as seen below but my gain value of my non linear is 5db higher than the s paramters model which seems wrong.
Help please ,i tried adding spice(lib files to awr but doesnt work) or what am i doing wrong .Using this to model the noise figure so cant use the s parameter.

Please share s2p file for IC part No. BGA525N6.
Hi There,
"BGX50A E6327" will be adopted.
I would like to know the lower limit of the operating temperature.
What is the minimum operating temperature?
BGX50A
Best regards
