QPA2628 2231.5 GHz GaAs Low Noise Amplifier Product Description Qorvos QPA2628 is a packaged, high-performance, low noise amplifier fabricated on Qorvos production 90nm pHEMT (QPHT09) process. Covering 22 31.5 GHz, the QPA2628 provides 23 dB small signal gain and P1dB of 19 dBm, while supporting a noise figure of 1.6 dB and IM3 levels of 54 dBc (at Pout=0 dBm/tone). Packaged in a small 4 mm x 4 mm plastic overmold QFN, the QPA2628 is matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports for easy handling and simple system integration. The QPA2628 high performance and ease of handling make it ideal for satellite and military or commercial radar applications.
