Qorvo QPA0017 25W GaN Power Amplifiers

Qorvo QPA0017 25W GaN Power Amplifiers are high-power packaged Ku-Band MMIC devices fabricated using Qorvo’s 0.15µm GaN-on-SiC production process (QGaN15). The QPA0017 targets the 13.75GHz to 14.5GHz Satcom band while providing 12.5W of linear power with third-order intermodulation distortion products of 25dBc. The QPA0017 delivers output powers up to 25W with 30dB of small-signal gain and 35% power-added efficiency. The operating frequency can extend from 12.75GHz to 15.35GHz if desired. The QPA0017 is fully matched to 50Ω with DC-grounded I/O ports for optimum ESD performance, and on-chip blocking capacitors follow the DC grounds on the input and output ports. 100% DC and RF tested, the Qorvo QPA0017 is ideal for supporting communications and radar applications in both commercial and military markets.
