Guerrilla RF, Inc. has introduced two unmatched discrete transistors that provide up to 50 W of saturated power for customers within the wireless infrastructure, military, aerospace and industrial heating markets who are looking to integrate bare die within their own custom MMICs.
The GRF0020D and GRF0030D, the first in a new class of GaN on SiC HEMT power amplifiers offer exceptional flexibility, supporting either 50 V or 28 V supply rails while covering multiple octaves of operational bandwidth for continuous wave, linear, and pulsed modulation schemes. When using a 50 V rail, the GRF0030D is rated for 50 W (PSAT) operation from DC to 6 GHz, with gain varying from 13.5 dB to 23.7 dB. The device also supports 28 V operation while delivering up to 27.5 W of saturated output power. Similarly, the GRF0020D variant provides up to 30 W and 19 W of saturated power when using 50 V and 28 V rails, respectively. This slightly lower-power HEMT supports frequencies up to 7 GHz while providing 13.8 dB to 24.3 dB of gain. As with all of Guerrilla RF’s bare die offerings, each device is 100% DC production tested to ensure KGD (known good die) compliance.
According to market research from Yole Group, the RF GaN device market is expected to grow from $1.3 Billion in 2022 to $2.7 Billion by 2028. This growth is driven by expansion in key segments relevant to Guerrilla RF, including telecom infrastructure (5G and point-to-point systems), military, and satellite communications, with projected compound annual growth rates of 10%, 13%, and 18%, respectively. Additionally, GaN on SiC variants are expected to dominate the market for the next decade.
Ryan Pratt, CEO and founder of Guerrilla RF, commented, “GaN technology is critical for next-generation, high-performance, energy-efficient RF systems and devices. We’re already seeing strong demand for the GRF0020D and GRF0030D.” He added, “Another advantage is that these devices are fabricated in the U.S., aligning with the objectives of the CHIPS Act of 2022 and ensuring a robust, domestic supply chain for our customers.”
Product Availability
The GRF0020D and GRF0030D are now available for ordering, with samples ready for distribution. Pricing starts at $30 for 100-piece quantities. The bare dice are shipped in 2x2-inch waffle trays for safe transport and storage.
