Guerrilla RF has introduced a new high power, low noise amplifier (Power-LNA) family that offers a best-in-class union of low noise figure, OP1dB and high OIP3 for high performance linear transmit driver amplifiers and multi-stage LNAs. This device operates from 1700 MHz to 2700 MHz with a single match and can be tuned to cover 700-3800 MHz.
Over the coming months, they plan to add several new parts to this family which will push the output power capability beyond 1 Watt and provide frequency coverage to 6.0 GHz to support demanding 802.11ac PA applications. Currently, the Power-LNA product family facilitates the creation of rugged, high linearity, ultra-low noise figure architectures that are essential for today’s challenging LTE system requirements.
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 Power Low Noise Amplifier
The GRF5020 Power-LNA yields outstanding OP1dB to +28.5 dBm, OIP3 values to +50 dBm and sub 1 dB noise figure (NF). In addition to use as a PA or linear driver, it is well suited to demanding first, second or third stage LNA applications requiring high linearity, ruggedness and low NF. With a single match, GRF5020 covers 1700 – 2700 MHz yielding outstanding RF performance over the band. Simple matching, flexible supply voltages and adjustable bias current allow for optimum efficiency and device reuse within a design and across multiple platforms.
It is housed in 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.55 mm, 16-pin plastic QFN package.
