High Linearity Power Amplifier

Tuning Range: 3.3 to 4.2 GHz

The GRF5536 is a high gain, two-stage InGaP HBT power amplifier designed to deliver excellent P1dB, ACLR and IM3 performance the 3.3 to 4.2 GHz band. Its exceptional native linearity makes it an ideal choice for transmitter applications that typically do not employ digital predistortion correction schemes.

An extended bandwidth tune covering 3.3 to 4.2 GHz is available and can be found in the custom tunes section of the website landing page.

Please consult with the Guerrilla RF applications engineering team for custom evaluation board data.
