Guerrilla RF, Inc. announced it is now sampling the GRF2115, an ultra-wideband, high linearity gain block amplifier that delivers an exceptionally flat gain response over a single 50 MHz to 11 GHz broadband tune. When operated at its midpoint of 5 GHz, the device delivers 17 dB of gain, 21.8 dBm of OP1dB compression, 35.3 dBm of OIP3 linearity, and a low noise figure of 1.8 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 GRF2115 touts a flexible biasing architecture allowing for customizable tradeoffs in linearity and power consumption.

Supply voltages can vary between 3 and 6 V, although most customers will elect to use a standard 5 V supply with 130 mA of biasing current. The GRF2115 utilizes Guerilla RF?s popular 2 x 2 mm DFN-8 package ? following an industry standard in both pinout and footprint.

Samples and evaluation boards are available for the GRF2115. Prices start at $1.76 (10,000-up, EXW USA).
