QPA2609D 7 14 GHz Low Noise Amplifier Product Overview Qorvos QPA2609D is a high-performance, low noise MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvos production 90 nm pHEMT process (QPHT09). Covering 7 14 GHz, the QPA2609D provides 27 dB small signal gain and 1.1 dB noise figure. With a compact size of 2.37 x 0.97 mm, the amplifier can deliver 20dBm of saturated power with P1dB of 18 dBm. In addition, the device can provide low IMD3 level of 50 dBc at Pout = 0 dBm/tone. The QPA2609D is matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports for easy handling and simple system integration. The high performance of the QPA2609D makes it ideal for satellite and point to point communication systems.
