Product Description
GRF2071 is a broadband, linear, ultra-low noise amplifi-
er designed for small cell, wireless infrastructure and
other high performance RF applications requiring ultra-
low NF, high gain and linearity.
Features
Reference: 5V/60mA/1.9GHz

•
Gain: 19.0 dB
Eval Board NF: 0.36 dB
OP1dB: 21.0 dBm
OIP3: 36.0 dBm
Configured as a first stage LNA, linear driver or cascaded
gain block, it offers high levels of reuse both within a de-
sign and across platforms.
GRF2071 is a member of a family of pin compatible, ul-
tra low noise devices which cover a wide range of fre-
quency bands with industry leading NF and gain:
GRF2070:
0.4 to 1.5 GHz
GRF2071:
0.7 to 2.7 GHz
GRF2072:
2.3 to 3.8 GHz
GRF2073:
3.0 to 6.0 GHz
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
application notes, custom tuning/evaluation board data
