Qorvo has introduced a family of hybrid gallium nitride (GaN)/gallium arsenide (GaAs) power amplifiers optimized to extend the reach and address the explosion of higher data throughput required for the point-to-point radio link market. Wireless infrastructure customers require higher power amplifiers to expand data throughput and enable longer point-to-point connections. The TGA2752-SM, TGA2753-SM and TGA2760-SM family utilizes the benefits of both GaN and GaAs technologies to deliver up to 16 watts of output power as required by the evolving needs of the point-to-point market.
The frequency ranges are as follows: TGA2752-SM operates from 7.1-8.5 GHz; the TGA2753-SM operates from 5.9-7.7 GHz; and the TGA2760-SM operates from 9.5-12 GHz. With a unique packaging design, both the TGA2752-SM and TGA2753-SM products are available in a low-cost, surface mount 7x9mm² QFN package, suited for point-to-point radio and C-band linear satellite communications. The higher-frequency TGA2760-SM is available in an 8x10mm² package. Qorvo's hybrid power amplifier products are sampling today.
These Hybrid GaN/GaAs amplifiers were introduced at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), May 19-21 in Phoenix, Arizona.
