Qorvo QPA0506 4W C-Band Power Amplifier

Qorvo QPA0506 4W C-Band Power Amplifier 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 QPA0506 C-Band Power Amplifier is housed in a compact 4mm x 4mm plastic overmolded package. This device is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure compliance with electrical specifications.
