Gain Block Amplifiers

The VGLA20RPDC GPS Variable Gain Line Amplifier is a one input, one output device featuring a variable gain block with 26dB of dynamic range.

The CXE-1089Z is a high performance 75 ohm pHEMT MMIC low-noise amplifier utilizing a Darlington configuration with active bias. The active bias network provides stable current over temperature and process threshold voltage variations. It is designed for high linearity, low-noise consumer set-top box applications. The CXE-1089Z is internally matched to 75 ohms and operates directly from a supply voltage of 5V.

Qorvo offers high-linearity, ultra-low noise gain block amplifiers with integrated bypass mode functionality. With a 1-stage model and a 2-stage model, these LNAs are ideal for a wide range of applications including base station receivers, tower mount amplifiers, repeaters, FDD-LTE, TDD-LTE, WCDMA, and general purpose wireless systems.

Celeritek’s CGB7014-SC is a Darlington Configured, high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier MMIC with 18.5dB of gain at 6 GHz.

This gain block amplifier covers the 20 MHz to 8 GHz frequency range. It exhibits flat gain (19 dB), a 2.5 dB noise figure, and unconditional stability over the -40C to +85C operating temperature range. It comes in a 3mm QFN package and is operational to 1.7V.

Avago Technologies’ 2-6 GHz High Linearity Gain Block: MGA-30789 is a broadband, high linearity gain block MMIC amplifier achieved through the use of Avago Technologies' propietary 0.25um GaAs Enhancement-mode pHEMT process.

Guerrilla RF offers the GRF2003 broadband, low noise linear gain block amplifier ideally suited for small cell, wireless infrastructure, and other high performance RF applications such as those with microwave backhaul, C/X-band amplifiers, general purpose amplifiers, and instrumentation. Single match RF performance is rated over the 0.5 to 10.0 GHz frequency range, but the device may operate down to 100 MHz with optimized external components.

Celeritek’s CGB7010-BD is a Darlington Configured, high dynamic range, utility gain block amplifier MMIC chip.
