QPA1010
7.9 –ꢀ11.0ꢀGHz 15ꢀW GaN Power Amplifier
Product Description
Qorvo’s QPA1010 is a X-band high power MMIC amplifier
fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15um GaN on SiC
process (QGaN15). The QPA1010 operates from 7.9 – 11
GHz and typically provides 15 W saturated output power
with power-added efficiency of 38% and large-signal gain
of 18 dB. This combination of wideband performance
provides the flexibility designers are looking for to improve
system performance while reducing size and cost.
QPA1010 can also support a variety of operating conditions
to best support system requirements. With good thermal
properties, it can support a range of bias voltages and will
perform well under both CW and pulse operations.
24-Lead 4.5ꢀxꢀ5.0ꢀxꢀ1.72ꢀmm Air Cavity Laminate Package
The QPA1010 is matched to 50Ω with integrated DC
blocking capacitors on both RF I/O ports simplifying system
integration. The wideband performance and operational
flexibility allow it support satellite communication and data
links, as well as, military and commercial radar systems.
