Broadband Linear Gain Block

Tuning Range: 0.01 to 9 GHz

The GRF2013 is a broadband gain block with a low noise figure (NF) and high linearity designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure, and other high-performance applications. It exhibits outstanding broadband NF, linearity, and return loss over 700 to 3800 MHz with a single match.

Optimizing the bias inductor and coupling capacitors for lower frequency operation will yield strong performance down to 10 MHz. For applications above 4 GHz, the addition of simple external matching yields outstanding linearity and gain performance up to 9 GHz.

The device can be operated from a supply voltage of 2.7 to 8 V with a selectable IDDQ range of 15 to 100 mA for optimal efficiency and linearity.
