    Qorvo's QPA2611 is a packaged, high performance power amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). Covering 8 - 12 GHz, the QPA2611 provides > 5 W of saturated output power and 26 dB of large-signal gain while achieving an impressive 42% power-added efficiency.

    Packaged in a small 5 x 5 mm plastic overmold QFN, tight lattice spacing requirements for phased array radar applications is easily supported.  RF input and output ports are matched to 50Ω with integrated DC blocking capacitors.  QPA2611 is part of a three-amplifier family and is pin compatible to QPA2610 and QPA2612.

    Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
