Guerrilla RF, Inc. announces the formal production release of the GRF2110, an ultra-low noise amplifier that delivers an exceptionally flat gain response over a single 5 to 8 GHz broadband tune.
When operated at 6 GHz, the device delivers 16.3 dB of gain, 22 dBm of OP1dB compression, 38 dBm of OIP3 linearity, and a low noise figure of 1.2 dB (as measured on the device’s standard evaluation board; de-embedded NF values are approximate 0.2dB lower). As with most of GRF’s amplifier cores, the GRF2110 touts a flexible biasing architecture allowing for customizable tradeoffs in linearity and power consumption. Supply voltages can vary between 2.7 and 6 V, although most customers will elect to use a standard 5 V supply with 70 mA of biasing current.
The GRF2110 utilizes Guerilla RF’s popular 1.5 x 1.5 mm DFN-6 package – the company’s ultra-small packaging option supporting a common footprint for over 30 devices. The entire family of parts provides customers with a multitude of options for addressing different frequency, gain, noise figure, compression, and linearity requirements. This modular approach is extremely popular with GRF’s client base since it provides an exceptional degree of design latitude, translating directly into design speed and agility.
Samples and evaluation boards are available for the GRF2110. Prices start at $1.76 (10,000-up, EXW USA).
