With a tremendous increase in the number of connected devices and mobile data demand predicted over the next decade, the wireless communications industry is exploring new technologies to accommodate 5G wireless data systems, including MIMO (multiple-input, multiple-output) technology and millimeter wave frequency bands.  One of the more complex environments for these technologies are urban small cells, where the prevalence of multipath and non-line-of-sight conditions leads to many challenges, particularly at higher frequencies.

Qorvo delivers the QPM1000 integrated limiter/low noise amplifier (LNA) designed to provide robust, high performance over the 2 – 20 GHz frequency range. The LNA features 17 dB small signal gain with gain control and > 18 dBm P1dB with a range of noise figure of 1.7 – 4 dB across frequency. Additionally, the integrated limiter delivers a robustness level of up to 4 W of incident power without performance degradation.

The Exodus AMP20154 is a high-performance, solid-state RF power amplifier designed for a broad spectrum of applications including EMI/RFI testing, communications, and both continuous wave (CW) and pulsed operations.

Skyworks, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Isolink, provides screened and hermetically sealed high-reliability optocouplers, RF diodes, and RFICs, including multi-chip modules (MCM) for aerospace, defense, medical, extreme industrial and high-reliability markets and applications.

The QPD1425L is a 375W discrete GaN on SiC HEMT which operates from 1.2 to 1.4 GHz providing typically 56.3dBm of saturated output power with 17dB of large-signal gain and 75% of drain efficiency.

The OS-50 50 W multi-carrier power amplifier (MCPA) conforms to FCC requirements for AMPS, TDMA, and CDMA transmissions in the 869-894 MHz band

Guerrilla RF introduces the GRF5508 and GRF5510, two of 10 new ¼ W linear power amplifiers being released as part of the company’s expansion into the cellular market. These new InGaP HBT amplifiers are designed specifically for 5G/4G wireless infrastructure applications requiring exceptional native linearity over temperature extremes of -40°C to 85°C.

The QPA3908 is an integrated 2-stage Power Amplifier Module designed for massive MIMO applications with 8 W RMS at the device output covering frequency range from 3.7 to 3.98 GHz.
