QPA4501
3 W, 28 V, 4.4 – 5.0 GHz GaN PA Module
®
Product Overview
The QPA4501 is an integrated 2-stage Power Amplifier
Module designed for massive MIMO applications up to
3 W RMS at the device output covering frequency range
from 4.4 to 5.0 GHz.
The module is 50 Ω input and output and requires minimal
external components. The module is also compact and
offers a much smaller footprint than traditional discrete
component solutions.
