Guerrilla RF Launches GRF5847 Linear PA Module Featuring Fully Matched 50-Ohm Interfaces And Industry-Leading Output Power Guerrilla RF, Inc. announced the production launch of its innovative GRF5847 linear power amplifier (PA) module. The GRF5847 combines fully integrated 50-ohm input and output matching with exceptional output power, efficiency, and linearity in a compact surface mount package. The GRF5847 is Guerrilla RF's flagship linear PA solution for the 4.4 GHz to 5.2 GHz frequency band, supporting high-data-rate UAS payload communications, upper C-band tactical radio systems, and n79 massive MIMO cellular infrastructure deployments. Fabricated on a new InGaP HBT process and packaged in a compact 2.5 mm x 3.0 mm LAMM-12 package, the GRF5847 requires no external input or output matching components, enabling engineers to achieve best-in-class PA performance while minimizing board area, bill-of-materials cost, and overall design complexity. The frequency range is widely used in high-data-rate UAS payload communications, upper C-band tactical radio systems, and n79 massive MIMO cellular infrastructure deployments. The device can be deployed as either a final-stage power amplifier or as a high-linearity driver amplifier, providing flexibility across a wide variety of signal-chain architectures. The GRF5847 is the company's first fully integrated linear PA module and continues to gain traction due to its unique combination of output power, efficiency, linearity, and ease of implementation. Operating from a single 3 V to 5 V supply, the device delivers more than 35 dBm of saturated output power across the 4.4 GHz to 5.2 GHz band while achieving power-added efficiency greater than 50%. The amplifier provides approximately 40 dB of gain and delivers 43 dBm OIP3 performance, making it one of the highest-linearity solutions available in its class. The device's exceptional native linearity often eliminates the need for digital predistortion (DPD), reducing system complexity and power consumption while enabling simpler and more cost-effective transmitter designs. Combined with its fully integrated on-chip matching network, the GRF5847 allows engineers to achieve outstanding RF performance without the burden of extensive external matching circuitry. The GRF5847 will be on display this week at IMS2026, the annual IEEE International Microwave Symposium being held in Boston, Massachusetts. Guerrilla RF sales and marketing personnel will be available at Richardson RFPD's Booth 12070 and RFMW's Booth 18054 to answer questions and provide guidance on the GRF5847 as well as the company's complete portfolio of RFIC solutions, including low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), gain blocks, driver amplifiers, power amplifiers, RF switches, RF power detectors, digital step attenuators (DSAs), and digitally controlled variable gain amplifiers (DVGAs).

Guerrilla RF, Inc. Launches GRF2118 with Best-In-Class Noise Figure Across the Satcom X-Band Spectrum Guerrilla RF, Inc. announced the release of the GRF2118, an ultra-low-noise X-Band amplifier delivering best-in-class noise figure performance across the 6.0–8.5 GHz band. Targeting the most demanding receive applications in satellite communications, defense electronics, and space-borne platforms, the GRF2118 establishes a new performance benchmark for COTS X-Band LNA solutions. The GRF2118's 6–8.5 GHz operating range is specifically aligned with the SatCom X-Band spectrum — encompassing military satellite downlinks, commercial X-Band VSAT, Earth observation downlinks, and TT&C bands for deep space missions — as distinct from the higher-frequency radar X-Band spectrum where transmit power and waveform performance are the dominant design drivers. The GRF2118 supports two operating modes, giving system designers a single hardware solution that can be optimized for the demands of their specific application. In low bias /low current mode (3V/42mA), the GRF2118 achieves a remarkable 0.57 dB noise figure with 25.5 dB of gain at 7 GHz — a combination that maximizes receive sensitivity in power-constrained applications including spaceborne platforms, portable satellite terminals, and CubeSat receivers. In high bias /high current mode (5V/79mA), the device delivers a 0.67 dB noise figure with 26.1 dB of gain, an output P1dB of 19.2 dBm, and an OIP3 of 26.6 dBm — providing superior linearity for ground terminals and defense receivers operating in dense, high-power signal environments. Fabricated on a proven GaAs pHEMT process and packaged in a compact 2.0 x 2.0 mm QFN-12, the GRF2118 requires no external input or output matching components, allowing engineers to achieve best-in-class SatCom X-Band LNA performance with minimal board area and design complexity. Beyond satellite and defense applications, the GRF2118's operating range also fully covers the licensed point-to-point microwave backhaul bands at 5.925–6.4 GHz and 6.4–7.125 GHz — making it a strong candidate for high-capacity backhaul radio receiver front ends. Additionally, the upper 6 GHz spectrum covered by the GRF2118 is under active consideration by the ITU and regional regulatory bodies as a candidate band for future 6G cellular deployments, further expanding the device's long-term market relevance as the wireless industry moves toward next-generation infrastructure development. As a COTS device, the GRF2118 gives programs of all sizes — from flagship military satellite ground terminals to commercial smallsat platforms and CubeSat designs — access to space- and defense-grade low-noise performance with the availability, cost structure, and design support of a high-volume commercial RFIC. The GRF2118 will be on display at the SATSHOWWEEK exhibit at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Guerrilla RF Sales and Marketing personnel will be present at Richardson RFPD's Booth 3131 and are available to answer questions and provide design guidance on the GRF2118 and Guerrilla RF's full portfolio of SatCom RFIC solutions. The GRF2118 datasheet is available for download. Designers interested in evaluation boards, component recommendations, and design-in support are encouraged to contact Guerrilla RF's applications team.
