QPA1003D Qorvo

QPA1003D 1 8GHz 10W GaN Power Amplifier Product Description Qorvos QPA1003D is a wideband high power MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvos production 0.15um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). The QPA1003D operates from 1 8 GHz and typically provides 10 W saturated output power with power-added efficiency of 30% and large-signal gain of 25 dB. This combination of wideband performance provides the flexibility designers are looking for to improve system performance while reducing size and cost. The QPA1003D is matched to 50 with integrated DC Product Features blocking capacitors on both RF I/O ports simplifying system integration. The wideband performance makes it ideally Frequency Range: 18GHz suited in support of test instrumentation and electronic POUT: 40dBm PIN = 15dBm warfare, as well as, supporting multiple radar and PAE: 30% P = 15dBm IN communication bands. Large Signal Gain: 25 dB PIN = 15dBm The QPA1003D is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to Small Signal Gain: 30 dB ensure compliance to electrical specifications. Bias: VD = +28V, IDQ = 650mA Chip Dimensions: 3.3 x 3.55 x 0.10mm Lead-free and RoHS compliant. Process Technology: QGaN15 Performance is typical across frequency.
