Abstract. A SiGe GPS low noise amplifier with power control option and high immunity to wireless jamming signals is presented. These novel features applied to Atmel’s ATR0610 GPS LNA allow significant power saving at the radio interface while meeting the out-of-band linearity requirements. The results show the noise figure less than 2.1 dB, including the embedded pre-select filter, and out-of-band IIP3 above +8 dBm in the frequency range between 1.8GHz and 2 GHz with 3mA current consumption. The GPS system performance shows GPS sensitivity below -141 dBm with 5 ms integration interval.
