Description
The BGC100GN6 bi-directional coupler IC is designed for 2G/3G/4G RF front end applications. The device
contains a bidirectional coupler operating in one or multiple bands within 0.6 to 2.7 GHz frequency range. The
coupled output contains a low-pass filter for 5 GHz ISM blockers suppression. The coupler offers low insertion
loss and high directivity.
The coupler is controlled via a GPIO pin. No external power supply blocking or RF decoupling capacitors are
required. The BGC100GN6 is a fully integrated device deploying Infineon high volume RF-CMOS technology. The
device has a very small size of only 1.1 x 0.7mm2 and a maximum heigth of 0.4 mm.
