The QPM0106 from Qorvo is a GaN Power Amplifier that operates from 1.0 to 6.0 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 45.4 dBm (35 W) with a gain of 30.2 dB and a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 41%. This amplifier is fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.25 um GaN-on-SiC process and has both RF ports internally DC blocked and matched to 50 ohms, allowing for simple system integration. It requires a DC supply of 24 V and consumes 2044 mA of current. This amplifier is available in a bolt-down surface-mount package that measures 15.24 x 15.24 mm and has a pure copper base for thermal management. It is ideal for commercial and military EW (Electronic Warfare) & radar systems, communications systems, and test instrumentation applications.
