The CRF-PA-36G50G Series is a CorelixRF public model family for 36-50 GHz millimeter-wave amplifier screening. Unlike standard CW amplifier pages where detailed power, gain, and size tables may be public, CorelixRF’s millimeter-wave amplifier page makes clear that detailed electrical specifications, mechanical information, test data, and datasheets are released after inquiry review.
That makes this article useful for a different kind of buyer intent: engineers searching for a 36-50 GHz mmWave amplifier need to know what to submit so they receive the right datasheet and configuration guidance.
CorelixRF publicly lists the CRF-PA-36G50G Series as a 36-50 GHz Q/V-band engineering platform and shows representative power names including 3 W, 5 W, 10 W, 20 W, and 30 W. The company also states that final configuration depends on interface, cooling, control, and acceptance requirements.
Why 36-50 GHz Requires Inquiry-Based Selection
At 36-50 GHz, small changes in frequency range can affect device choice, interface design, cooling, gain behavior, and measurement setup. A public one-line datasheet can easily lead to a wrong selection if the buyer does not define the real operating window. That is why CorelixRF provides detailed datasheets after reviewing the requirement.
For example, a project that needs a compact 36-40 GHz driver stage is not the same as a project that needs higher output near 48-50 GHz. The same model family name can be a starting point, but final review must match band, power, interface, operating condition, and documentation need.
What to Send With a CRF-PA-36G50G Inquiry
A good inquiry should start with the exact target frequency range. Do not only write “36-50 GHz amplifier” if the real need is 37-40 GHz, 40-44 GHz, or 47-50 GHz. Include whether the amplifier must cover the full range or only a focused window.
Next, provide output requirement, operating mode, waveform, source level, load condition, and whether the amplifier is for driver-stage validation, communication testing, module evaluation, or system integration. The high frequency capability page and RF testing and validation page are useful internal paths for application context.
Interface, Cooling, and Control
CorelixRF’s mmWave page emphasizes coaxial or waveguide interface review. At 36-50 GHz, interface choice can strongly affect delivered power and measurement repeatability. Buyers should specify preferred connector or waveguide path, existing test equipment, adapters, couplers, loads, and mechanical constraints.
Cooling is also project-specific. Higher-frequency platforms require review of power supply condition, cooling method, size limitation, control interface, alarms, and protection needs. If the amplifier will be used inside a rack or enclosure, include airflow direction, ambient temperature, mounting plan, and run time.
How This Series Differs From 18-40 GHz
CorelixRF’s 18-40 GHz RF power amplifier page lists standard model classes with more public structure, including CRF-PA-18000M40000M-5W, -20W, -40W, and -70W.
The CRF-PA-36G50G Series extends into a higher millimeter-wave review space where detailed data is provided by inquiry. That makes it more suitable for projects that truly need Q/V-band coverage rather than standard 18-40 GHz operation.
If the project moves even higher, CorelixRF also publicly names representative families such as CRF-PA-40G67G, CRF-PA-50G75G, and CRF-PA-75G110G on the same millimeter-wave amplifier page.
Documentation to Request
Ask for the relevant datasheet, gain and output behavior across the target band, interface recommendation, mechanical information, test data, cooling notes, control interface details, and supplier approval documents if needed. CorelixRF states that factory-side engineering validation is critical for mmWave delivery, so documentation should be part of the RFQ, not an afterthought.
FAQ
What is the CRF-PA-36G50G Series?
It is a public CorelixRF representative mmWave amplifier family for 36-50 GHz Q/V-band engineering screening. Detailed specifications are provided after inquiry review.
Are 3W, 5W, 10W, 20W, and 30W versions public final models?
CorelixRF publicly lists those representative power names for the CRF-PA-36G50G Series, but final configuration and datasheet release depend on engineering inquiry review.
Why are detailed mmWave specs not fully public?
CorelixRF states that detailed specs are released after requirement review to avoid incorrect model selection at millimeter-wave frequencies.
What should I include in the inquiry?
Include target frequency, output requirement, application scenario, interface preference, cooling or size limits, operating condition, control requirement, and documentation needs.
