    BGU8007 GPS LNA EVB 1. Introduction NXP Semiconductors’ BGU8007 is a low-noise amplifier for GPS receiver applications in a plastic, leadless 6 pin, extremely thin small outline SOT886 package. It has a current of 4.6 mA, a gain of 19 dB and a noise figure of 0.75 dB .
  • Page 4: General Description

    BGU8007 GPS LNA EVB 2. General description NXP Semiconductors’ BGU8007 low noise amplifier is dedicated for the GNSS frequency band (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo positioning systems). The integrated biasing circuit is temperature stabilized, which maintains a constant current over temperature. It also enables the superior linearity performance of the BGU8007.

    UM10497 NXP Semiconductors BGU8007 GPS LNA EVB 4. Required Equipment In order to measure the evaluation board the following is necessary: DC Power Supply up to 30 mA at 1.5 V to 2.2 V;  Two RF signal generators capable of generating an RF signal at the operating ...
  • Page 8 UM10497 NXP Semiconductors BGU8007 GPS LNA EVB 9. For noise under jamming conditions, the following is needed. A 5dB ENR noise source, a directional coupler, GPS band pass filter, a noise-figure analyzer or a spectrum analyzer with noise option can be used. See Fig 11 Fig 5.
  • Page 9: Linearity

    UM10497 NXP Semiconductors BGU8007 GPS LNA EVB 6. Linearity At the average power levels of –130 dBm that have to be received by a GPS receiver, the system will not have in-band intermodulation problems caused by the GPS-signal itself. Strong out-of-band cell phone TX jammers however can cause linearity problems, and result in third-order intermodulation products in the GPS frequency band.
  • Page 10 UM10497 NXP Semiconductors BGU8007 GPS LNA EVB The gain of the DUT was measured between port RFin and RFout of the EVB at the GPS frequency 1575 MHz, while simultaneously a jammer power signal was swept at the 20 dB attenuated input port of the Directional Coupler. Please note that the drive power of the jammer is 20 dB lower at the input of the DUT caused by the directional coupler.
