Guerrilla RF has introduced an Ultra-low noise amplifier (Ultra-LNA) family with extremely low noise figure (NF). These new high linearity solutions support a number of wireless infrastructure devices including high performance small cell LNAs, macro base station LNAs, distributed antenna systems (DAS) and general purpose LNA applications requiring the absolute lowest possible NF.
Using these LNA’s their wireless infrastructure customers will be able to maximize receiver sensitivity and improve receiver dynamic range with minimal external components, which yields a simple and low-cost application circuit that allows for optimal efficiency and re-use. According to Research and Markets, the overall wireless network infrastructure market will witness tremendous growth over the coming years. Growing at a compound annual growth rate of over 5 percent, the market will account for over $104 billion in annual spending by the end of 2020.
About Guerrilla RF’s New Broadband, Ultra-Low Noise Amplifiers
The GRF2051 (optimized for 1700 – 2700 MHz frequencies) and GRF2052 (optimized for 2300 – 3800 MHz that can be tuned to 6 GHz) Ultra-LNAs provide a low NF and gain performance with simple external matching, adjustable current and flexible Vdd. Configured as a first-stage LNA, linear driver or a cascaded gain block, these 2.0 x 2.0 x 0.55 mm devices offer high levels of reuse – within a design and across platforms.
Pricing and Availability
Samples and evaluation boards are available now, with full production scheduled for the second quarter. Pricing for 10,000 parts is $1.37 each.
