Qorvo's QPA1022D is a MMIC power amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). Covering 8.5 - 11.0 GHz, the QPA1022D provides > 4 W of saturated output power and 24 dB of large-signal gain while achieving > 40% power-added efficiency.

The QPA1022D is matched to 50Ω with integrated DC blocking capacitors at RF output and DC grounded input port. It also has a built-in power detector for system RF power checking. With a compact dimension of 2.65 x 1.25 x 0.10 mm, it can support tight lattice spacing requirements for phased array radar applications. It is also an ideal component to support test instrumentation and commercial communication systems.
