General Description
Absolute Maximum Ratings1
The XP1043-QH is a packaged linear power amplifier that
operates over the 12.0-16.0 GHz frequency band. The
device provides 21.5 dB gain and 41 dBm Output Third
Order Intercept Point (OIP3) across the band and is offered
in an industry standard, fully molded 4x4mm QFN package.
The packaged amplifier is comprised of a three stage
power amplifier with an integrated, temperature

compensated on-chip power detector. The device includes
on-chip ESD protection structures and DC by-pass
capacitors to ease the implementation and volume
assembly of the packaged part. The device is
manufactured in GaAs PHEMT device technology with BCB
wafer coating to enhance ruggedness and repeatability of
performance. XP1043-QH is well suited for Point-to-Point
Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.

(1) Minimum specifications are set under nominal (typ.) bias conditions.
Bias can be adjusted higher to achieve greater linearity and power;
however, maximum total power dissipated is specified at 5.5 W
(2) Channel temperature directly affects a device’s MTTF. Channel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
