Broadband Gain Block
0.1 to 10.0 GHz
Product Description
GRF2004 is a broadband, low noise linear gain block
designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure and other
high performance RF applications. Due the extreme
broadband nature of the device, data is presented for
wideband RF measurements using network analyzer bi-
as Tees. Under these conditions, the device exhibits
good performance over 100 MHz to 10 GHz with mini-
mal external components.
The device can be operated over a range of supply volt-
ages from 1.8 to 5.0 V selectable Iddq for optimal effi-
ciency and linearity.
