M/A-COM Technology Solutions has introduced a high linearity 4 W power amplifier for Ka-Band High Data Density Satellite communications. The MAAP-011139 is offered in both bare die format and a 5x5 mm 32-lead QFN package. The device delivers 24 dB of linear gain, 4 W of saturated output power and 23% efficiency. The device provides greater than 27 dBm Pout/tone while maintaining IM3 levels of 30 dBc, which we believe is twice the linear performance of competing alternatives. This two-times linearity performance allows the MAAP-011139 to replace two equivalent competing alternatives with a single device while operating in an overall more efficient mode. Furthermore, the device in bare die format and measures 3.1 x 2.8 x 0.05 mm, ideal for real estate constrained customers.
MACOM enables the connections that ensure high data-density network performance from L-Band to Ka-Band. For over 60 years, we’ve serviced the most demanding military and commercial applications on the ground, in the air or at sea. Our analog RF, microwave and millimeter wave innovations optimize wireless bandwidth for clear, uninterrupted signals across even remote locations. Production quantities and samples of MAAP-011139 in both bare die and packaged versions are available from stock.
