GRF2014
Broadband Linear Gain Block
0.05 to 3.8 GHz
Product Description
GRF2014 is a broadband, linear gain block designed for
small cell, wireless infrastructure and other high perfor-
mance applications. It exhibits outstanding broadband
linearity and return losses over 500 to 2700 MHz with a
single match.
Features
Reference: 5.0V/150mA/900 MHz
•
•
•
Gain: 15.9 dB
OIP3: 43.5 dBm;
OP1dB: 24.0 dBm
The device is operated from a supply voltage (V
DD
) of 2.7
to 8.0V with adjustable I
DDQ
for optimal efficiency and
linearity.
The device is internally matched to 50
Ω
at the input and
output ports, needing only external DC blocks and a bias
choke on the output.
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
custom tuning/evaluation board data and device s-
parameters.
