Product Description
GRF2052 is an ultra-low noise amplifier designed for
wireless infrastructure and other high performance RF
applications requiring the absolute lowest possible NF,
high gain and outstanding linearity. Broadband external
matches deliver outstanding RF performance over 1.5 to
4.5 GHz.
Configured as a first stage LNA, linear driver or cascaded
gain block, the GRF2052 flexible biasing capability of-
fers high levels of reuse both within a design and across
platforms. For lower gain applications from 0.7 GHz up
to 3.8 GHz, the pin compatible GRF2051 should be
used.
Consult with the GRF applications engineering team for
application notes, custom tuning/evaluation board data
and device s-parameters.
