Guerrilla RF’s High Linearity Gain Blocks with Broadband Compressed Output Power

Guerrilla RF Inc introduces a new addition to the company’s family of high linearity gain blocks featuring a unique combination of simple-application schematic, flat gain and high compressed output power which operate from near DC up to 4 GHz. The GRF2012 and GRF2013 are ideal as cost-effective pre-drivers for today’s state-of-the-art broadband GaN high power amplifiers as well as a multitude of general purpose, high-performance gain block applications. Their flat gain and flexible biasing allow for high levels of re-use both within a single design and across platforms.

“Guerrilla RF is proud to offer these new gain blocks which address a critical industry need for cost-effective, broadband pre-drivers for GaN PAs. With flexible biasing and Vdd capability up to 8 volts, these amplifiers provide consistent, broadband, compressed output power that GaN designers have been searching for,” said Alan Ake, vice president of applications and technical marketing at Guerrilla RF. “These versatile devices provide high levels of performance covering a wide frequency range, all with internal matching. This results in a low-part count which ultimately yields compact, low-cost solutions for design engineers.”

According to Research and Markets, the overall wireless network infrastructure market will witness tremendous growth over the coming years. 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.
