RFHIC has announced a gallium-arsenide (GaAs) MMIC Gain-block / Driver amplifier that is designed for wireless infrastructure equipment for Wi-Fi 6E (802.11 ax), LTE/5G, FTTH and broadband wireless communication systems. The WE327 is a low noise MMIC that operates from 0.5 to 7.2 GHz, providing 19 dB of gain with a noise figure of 1.8 dB and a P1dB of 22 dBm. It provides low current and high IP3. The amplifier requires a DC supply of 5 V and draws 120 mA of current under normal operation. This MMIC is available in a compact DFN package that measures 2 x 2 mm.
Wi-Fi 6E is a new standard for an extension of Wi-Fi 6, enabling the operation of features in the unlicensed 6 GHz band, in addition to the currently supported 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This new extension will allow ultra-low latency, faster data transmission speed, and higher performance than before. The WE327 extends the frequency bandwidth to cover all three bands.
Product samples of the WE327 amplifier will be available in the first quarter of 2022 and mass production will start in the second quarter of 2022.
