QPD0020 35 W, 48 V, DC 6 GHz, GaN RF Power Transistor Product Overview The QPD0020 is a 35 W unmatched discrete GaN on SiC HEMT which operates from DC to 6 GHz on a +48 V supply rail. It is ideally suited for base station, radar and communications applications and can support both CW and pulsed mode of operations. The QPD0020 can be used in Doherty architecture for the 20 Pin 4x3 mm QFN Package final stage of a base station power amplifier for small cell, microcell, and active antenna systems. The QPD0020 can also be used as a driver in a macrocell base station power Key Features amplifier. Operating Frequency Range: DC to 6 GHz The device is housed in an industry-standard 4x3 mm Operating Drain Voltage: +48 V surface mount QFN package. (1) Maximum Output Power (P ): 34.7 W SAT (1) Lead-free and ROHS compliant. Maximum Drain Efficiency: 77.8% (1) Efficiency-Tuned P3dB Gain: 18.8 dB Surface Mount Plastic Package Notes: 1. Based on 2.7 GHz load pull data.
