Qorvo QPA4246D 10W GaN Amplifier is optimized for the 37.5GHz to 42.5GHz Satcom Q-V band. The QPA4246D achieves 5W linear power with 25dBc third-order intermodulation distortion products and 16dB small-signal gain. This device provides 10W of saturated output power while achieving 17% power-added efficiency. The QPA4246D is fully matched to 50Ω with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports to simplify system integration. The device’s RF ports are DC coupled to ground for optimum ESD performance.
The Qorvo QPA4246D Amplifier is fabricated on a proprietary 0.15µm GaN (Gallium Nitride) on SiC (Silicon Carbide) process (QGaN15). This device is offered as a 4.2mm x 5.0mm x 0.05mm bare die and is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to ensure compliance to electrical specifications.
