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.

Dear Sir,
Since RF1694A EOL, I would like to use BGSA14GN10 for substitution.
currently, our L design RF1 connected 18nH, Rf2 connected 39nH, will it be a risky for series resonance on these two path ? thanks.

Hello,
I'm not very experienced with RF frequencies. Need to design a single-transistor buffer. Input signal will be from an oscillator (NOT a 50 Ohm device - impedance not precisely known but assumed high), frequency will vary from a few MHz to ~1-2 GHz. Precise oscillator amplitude currently unknown but likely ~40mV to ~1V. Buffer output will route to a 50 Ohm measurement device. VCC likely small, either ~1.5V or ~3V. I was thinking of using the BFR340F. If anyone with experience can comment on this choice, or perhaps suggest something better, I would appreciate it. I am assuming that if I lay out a standard emitter-follower type circuit it will be a reasonable choice (input signal routes to base via capacitor to AC couple; voltage divider placeholder(s) to set DC voltage at base; optional resistor from VCC to collector; optional capacitor to ground from collector; resistor from emitter to ground, output through a capacitor from emitter).

I recently plan to use bgt24ltr11 to measure distance. After I have collected the medium frequency signal, how should I process it to obtain distance information for a stationary target? My transmission method is pulse linear frequency modulation, that is, the VCO is modulated with a sawtooth wave, and it is sent every once in a while. At first, I used the FFT method for echoes to check the spectrum to find the peak value to determine the distance, but in the official demo board, this method is used to measure moving targets, and there is no mention of measuring static targets.

Hello,
Is it possible to connect two BGS18MA12 on the same MIPI bus?
If it rewrites the USID to the individual ID then it seems to be possible but I don't know if it is possible or not.
Best regards,
Nakamura

Hi 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

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.
