Qorvo's QPB1500 combines a bandpass filter and a 25 W power amplifier in a single component operating over the 14.85 GHz to 15.75 GHz band. The active device is fabricated on Qorvo's 0.15 um GaN on SiC technology. The module offers > 30 dB small-signal gain with saturated output power of 44 dBm and PAE of 35% for operation in the middle of Ku-Band.
The QPB1500 is offered in a 10 pin leadless bolt-down package. Assembled with a pure copper base, coupled with its high efficiency, the QPB1500 minimizes the strain on system-level cooling requirements. Superior electrical performance and thermal management makes the QPB1500 ideal for supporting communication applications in both commercial and military applications.
Both RF ports are DC blocked and are fully matched to 50 ohms.
For additional information on GaN thermal performance refer to the following application note and video.
Typical Applications
