The CMPA2735015S from MACOM is a GaN HEMT MMIC Power Amplifier that operates from 2.7 to 3.5 GHz. This GaN HEMT has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. It provides up to 25 watts of saturated power with a small signal gain of 35 dB and a power gain of 27.2 dB. The amplifier has a PAE of 56%. This MMIC contains a two-stage reactively matched amplifier design approach enabling high power and power added efficiency to be achieved in a 5mm x 5mm, surface mount (QFN package).
