MACOM has introduced a comprehensive portfolio of Ka-Band power amplifiers (PAs) optimized for next-generation SATCOM and VSAT applications requiring uncompromising high-speed connectivity, efficiency and reliability. The amplifiers span the frequency range from 27 to 31.5 GHz and are available in 2, 2.3, 3, 4 and 6 W power output options. These new GaAs-based Ka-Band PAs - MAAP-011246, MAAP-011298, MAAP-011289, MAAP-011233 and MAAP-011140-DIE - provide industry-leading linearity and IM3, and best-in-class performance across a range of key metrics.
MACOM’s Ka-Band MAAP Series PAs can deliver up to 24.5 dB of linear gain, 29% power added efficiency and saturated output power (PSAT) up to 38.5 dBm, with IM3 levels up to -25 @ 27 dBm. Assembled in lead-free 5mm, 32-lead QFN packaging (with available 6W bare die option - MAAP-011140-DIE), these Ka-band PAs can provide customers with full SMT assembly flexibility, complemented by MACOM’s portfolio of discrete mixers, drivers and gain block amplifiers.
