The HMC7885 from Analog Devices is a 32 Watt GaN, MMIC power amplifier module that operates from 2 GHz and 6 GHz. It provides a small signal gain of 21 dB with a saturated output power of 45 dBm. The amplifier draws 2200 mA of quiescent current and requires a supply voltage of 28 V DC. It is available in an 18-lead hermetically sealed module and is ideal for electronic warfare, military, SATCOM and radar applications. The RF input and output are dc blocked and matched to 50 ohms for ease of use. An evaluation board is available with layout and bill of materials to facilitate design-in and user application.
