New GaAs pHEMT Amplifier Increases Gain by Up to 3.5 dB over the GRF2013, the Company’s Leading Amplifier Core

Guerrilla RF, Inc. (OTCQX: GUER) announces it is now sampling the GRF2113, a next-generation variant of its highly popular GRF2013 amplifier core. The gain of this new variant surpasses that of its predecessor by up to 3.5 dB, providing extra headroom in wireless infrastructure receive and transmit setups where marginal cascaded gain is a concern.

"The GRF2013 has proven to be one of the company’s most successful products to date, having sold well over 15 million units in the past 5 years," says Jim Ahne, Vice President of Marketing at Guerrilla RF. "With the gain enhancements achieved with the GRF2113, Guerrilla RF is well-positioned to maintain its lead in the gain block market. This part is expected to be highly popular among our 5G, point-to-point, and cellular repeater/booster customers who seek additional gain options for their radio lineups. The GRF2113 complements the previously released GRF2013, GRF2010, and GRF2010 series, offering designers a choice between nominal gain levels of 21.5, 18, 15, and 10 dB.”

The GRF2113 is designed to operate between 50 to 4000 MHz while using a single, broadband tune. When used at 2.5 GHz, the GRF2113 delivers 21.5 dB of gain, 22 dBm of OP1dB compression, 38 dBm of OIP3 linearity, and a low noise figure of 1.75 dB (as measured on the device’s standard evaluation board; de-embedded NF values are approximate 0.2dB lower). As with most of GRF’s amplifier cores, the GRF2113 touts a flexible biasing architecture allowing for customizable tradeoffs in linearity and power consumption. Supply voltages can vary between 3 and 6 V, although most customers will elect to use a standard 5 V supply with 115 mA of biasing current.

The GRF2113 utilizes Guerilla RF’s popular 2 x 2 mm DFN-8 package – following an industry standard in both pinout and footprint.

Pricing and Availability

Samples and evaluation boards are available for the GRF2113. Prices start at $0.98 (10,000-up, EXW USA). Visit https://www.guerrilla-rf.com/products/detail/sku/2113 for additional details.
