Qorvo’s QPA0022 is a high-performance driver amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um pHEMT process (QPHT15). Covering 6 – 18 GHz, the QPA0022 provides 24 dB small signal gain and 25 dBm P1dB and saturated power of 26 dBm. In addition, the device can provide low IMD3 level of −50 dBc at Pin = -14 dBm/tone.

QPA0022 is matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports for easy handling and simple system integration. It is an ideal choice for EW and communication systems.
