The NPA2040-DE from Nxbeam is a Power Amplifier MMIC that operates from 27.5 to 31 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 10 W with a small signal gain of 24 dB and a power-added efficiency (PAE) of up to 32%. This power amplifier is manufactured using GaN-on-SiC technology and is fully passivated for reliable operation. It consists of fully-matched RF input and output ports with DC-blocking capacitors for easy system integration. This amplifier includes Au-based bond pads and backside metallization for compatibility with eutectic die attachment methods. It requires a DC supply from 20 to 28 V and consumes less than 140 mA of current.
The NPA2040-DE is available as a bare die that measures 3.675 x 1.375 x 0.100 mm and is ideal for point-to-point/multi-point digital radios, Ka-band satellite communications, and 5G infrastructure applications.
