Qorvo’s QPA1011 is a X-band high power MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). The QPA1011 operates from 7.9 – 11GHz and typically provides 25 W saturated output power with power-added efficiency of 40% and large-signal gain of 19.5 dB. This combination of wideband performance provides the flexibility designers are looking for to improve system performance while reducing size and cost. QPA1011 can also support a variety of operating conditions to best support system requirements. With good thermal properties, it can support a range of bias voltages and will perform well under both CW and pulse operations.
The QPA1011 is matched to 50Ω with integrated DC blocking capacitors on both RF I/O ports simplifying system integration. The wideband performance and operational flexibility allow it support satellite communication and data links, as well as, military and commercial radar systems
