High Linearity Power Amplifier
Tuning Range: 1805 to 1915 MHz
The GRF5618 is a high gain, two-stage InGaP HBT power amplifier designed to deliver excellent P1dB, ACLR and IM3 performance over the 1805 to 1915 MHz band. Its exceptional native linearity makes it an ideal choice for transmitter applications that typically do not employ digital predistortion correction schemes.
