QPA1027
2.8ꢀ– 3.5 GHz 60 W GaN Power Amplifier
®
Product Overview
Qorvo’s QPA1027 is a packaged high-power, S-band
amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.25 um GaN on
SiC High Voltage process (QGaN25HV). Covering 2.8ꢀ–ꢀ3.5
GHz, the QPA1027 provides 60 W of saturated output
power and 22 dB of large-signal gain while achieving 55%
power-added efficiency.
The QPA1027 is packaged in a plastic overmold QFN with
a Cu paddle offering easy handling with good thermal
properties. As a result, the QPA1027 has bias flexibility
allowing the user to vary the voltage to achieve optimum
system performance while maintaining high reliability.
