Preliminary
GRF3044
Broadband Gain Block
100 MHz to 12.0 GHz
Product Description
GRF3044 is a broadband low noise gain block designed
for applications up to 11.0 GHz, exhibiting a typical low
noise figure (NF) of 1.8 dB along with high gain.
This resistively biased device employs an external resis-
tor in series with V
DD
to set a nominal I
DDQ
of 100 mA.
GRF3044 is internally matched to 50Ω at the input and
output ports.
The device can be operated down to low frequency via
the selection of suitably large input/output caps and bi-
as inductor.
