GRF5040
31.0 dBm Power-LNA™
Tuning Range: 0.1
–
3.8 GHz
Product Description
GRF5040 is a high linearity PA with ultra-low noise fig-
ure (NF). The primary tune for this device covers 1.7 to
2.7 GHz and it achieves outstanding P1dB, IP3 and NF
over the band. The device can be tuned to deliver out-
standing performance over 0.1 GHz. to 3.8 GHz with
fractional bandwidths >30%. With a 10.0 Volt supply,
the device can deliver broadband OP1dB values of 31.0
dBm.
In addition to use as a PA or linear driver, GRF5040 is
well suited to demanding first, second or third stage
LNA applications requiring high linearity, ruggedness
and low NF.
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
custom tuning/evaluation board data and device s-
parameters.
