The QPB3238K is a solid state driver amplifer with an operating rane of 32 - 38 GHz while achieving 42 dBm (15 Watts) of saturated output power. Its compact size and weight make it ideally suited to drive Qorvo's Spatium SSPAs in the 32 - 38 GHz band targeting Electronic Warfare, Radar, and Military Communications applications.
The QPB3238J includes a DC enable function that can be used to pulse / modulate the RF output of the amplifier. In BLANK (disabled) mode, the amplifier's current is reduced to nearly 0A, resulting in reduced noise and power dissipation.
RF input and output are via WR28 waveguide connections. DC power and control / monitoring interface is provided via a Micro D-Sub connector.
