  • Meets automotive quality standards The Microtune MT141X AM/FM antenna amplifiers are designed for use in automobiles with state-of-the- art in-glass antenna systems. Since in-glass antennas need high performance amplifiers to supply a clean signal to the radio, the MT141X modules are ideal for this demanding environment. As most in-glass antennas employ multiple FM antennas, but use only one AM antenna to add a diversity function for FM, the MT141X amplifiers are available in an AM/FM version and an FM-only version. They are engineered to deliver high linearity and low noise, critical features of an automotive AM/FM receiving system. A low noise figure enables high system sensitivity to receive clear sound in rural areas, while high linearity permits robust performance in dense, urban signal environments. The implemented AGC circuit for FM provides additional improvement of signal handling capability. The MT141X amplifiers also permit designers to adjust key parameters, including gain, AGC threshold, or input/output impedance, providing the flexibility to optimize performance and integration of entire AM/FM receiver system. Features such as phantom power supply (power is supplied from the car radio via the antenna cable) are additionally offered as an option. The power supply circuit includes reverse voltage protection and the antenna input provides ESD protection. The amplifiers support the frequency ranges of Japan, Europe and the United States.
