Guerrilla RF GRF5236 High Gain Linear Driver
Guerrilla RF GRF5236 High Gain Linear Driver is a three-stage driver amplifier designed for 3.3GHz to 4.2GHz wireless infrastructure applications. This driver delivers up to 30.1dBm of OP1dB, 33.8dBm of OIP3, and a low noise figure of less than 4.1dB across its target operating band. The GRF5236 linear driver is designed for 50Ω systems and typically requires only a two-element shunt-series match on the output port. This driver operates with a single 5V supply voltage while using 85mA to 105mA of quiescent current for optimal efficiency and linearity. Typical applications include linear driver/pre-driver amplifiers, 5G Sub-6GHz massive MIMO base stations, small cells and cellular repeaters, and millimeter wave IF stages.
