    Qorvo's QPA1006D is a wide band power amplifier MMIC fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). Covering 10.7 - 12.7 GHz, the QPA1006D provides > 35 Watts of saturated output power and > 17 dB of large-signal gain while achieving > 39% power-added efficiency.

    The QPA1006D RF input port is DC coupled to ground for optimum ESD performance. The QPA1006D RF ports have DC blocking capacitors and are matched to 50 ohms.

    The QPA1006D can support a wide range of operating conditions, including CW operation, making it well-suited for both commercial and military systems.

    Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
