Qorvo QPA0506EVB1 Evaluation Board is a demonstration and development platform for the QPA0506 4W C-Band Power Amplifier. The QPA0506 operates from 5GHz to 6GHz and typically provides 36dBm of saturated output power and 18dB of large-signal gain while achieving 53% power-added efficiency. The QPA0506 can support a range of bias voltages to optimize power and PAE to system requirements. The QPA0506 is fabricated on the QGaN25 0.25µm GaN (Gallium Nitride) on SiC (Silicon Carbide) process and is matched to 50Ω with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports.
The Qorvo QPA0506EVB1 Evaluation Board features a pre-mounted QPA0506 in a compact 4mm x 4mm plastic overmolded package. The Evaluation Board provides an example application circuit, allowing rapid prototyping when incorporated into existing designs.
