The NPA1020-DE from Nxbeam is a GaN MMIC Amplifier that operates from 12.5 to 14.5 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 15 W with a linear gain of 25 dB and has a power-added-efficiency (PAE) of more than 40%. The amplifier is fabricated using 0.2 µm GaN HEMT on SiC technology. It requires a drain voltage from 20 to 28 V and draws a drain current of less than 1.3 A. The amplifier is impedance matched at 50 ohms with DC blocking capacitors for better system integration.
The NPA1020-DE is available as a die that measures 5.0 x 2.6 x 0.1 mm with gold bond pads and backside metallization for eutectic attachments. It is ideal for Ku-band SATCOM applications.
