Product Summary

The MAX2659ELT is a high-gain, low-noise amplifier (LNA). It is designed for GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS applications. Designed in Maxim’s advanced SiGe process, the MAX2659ELT achieves a 20.5dB gain and an ultra-low-noise figure of 0.8dB while maximizing the input-referred 1dB compression point and the 3rd-order intercept point at -12dBm and -5dBm, respectively. The applications of the MAX2659ELT include Automotive Navigation, Location-Enabled Mobile Devices, Telematics (Asset Tracking and Management), Personal Navigation Device (PND), Cellular Phones with GPS, Notebook PC/Ultra-Mobile PC, Recreational, Marine Navigation, and Avionics.
