QPA3055P
100 W S-Band GaN Power Amplifier
Product Overview
Qorvo’s QPA3055P is a packaged, high-power S-band
amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.25 um GaN
on SiC process (QGaN25). Covering 2.9ꢀ–ꢀ3.5 GHz, the
QPA3055P provides 100 W of saturated output power and
25 dB of large-signal gain while achieving 53% power-
added efficiency.
The QPA3055P is packaged in a 10-lead 15.2 x 15.2 mm
bolt-down package with a Cu base for superior thermal
management. It can 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 short and long
pulse operations.
Key Features
• Frequency Range: 2.9ꢀ–ꢀ3.5 GHz
