This is a product design manual for RF products. It mainly introduces the features and applications of RF products.
This appendix to the Philips RF Manual 5th edition contains a collection of application notes and design basics for RF products, including wide‑band MMIC amplifiers (BGA2715‑17, BGA2716, BGA2717) and medium‑power gain blocks (BGA6289). The document includes circuit examples, component value tables, and performance data such as gain, noise figure, and output power.
Each MMIC section lists typical operating conditions, pin configurations, and measured small‑ and large‑signal performance. The manual also explains two‑port and three‑port network parameters, providing formulas and example calculations for S‑parameters and VSWR measurement techniques.
| Gain (flat) | 22 dB up to 2.8 GHz |
|---|---|
| Output power (1 dB compression) | -8 dBm |
| Noise figure (1 GHz) | 2.6 dB |
| Maximum DC supply current | 4.3 mA |
It provides a flat gain of about 22 dB, staying within ±1 dB up to 2.8 GHz.
The output power is approximately –8 dBm at the 1 dB compression point.
The noise figure is about 2.6 dB at 1 GHz.
