The NPA2004-DE from Nxbeam is a Ka-band GaN Power Amplifier MMIC that operates from 25 to 27.5 GHz. It delivers an output power of 46 dBm (40 W) with a small signal gain of 24 dB and a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 34%. This amplifier is fabricated on a 0.2 μm GaN HEMT on SiC process. It is available as a fully-passivated die that measures 5.0 x 4.0 x 0.1 mm with RF input and output matched to 50 ohms and DC blocking capacitors for easy system integration. The amplifier has bond pad and backside metallization that are Au-based for compatibility with eutectic die attachment methods. It is ideal for Ka-band satellite communications, 5G mmWave (n257) and point-to-point/multipoint digital radio applications.
