Product Overview
Qorvo's QPA1017D is a high power MMIC amplifier
fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC
process (QGaN15). The QPA1017D operates from 5.7 –
7.0 GHz, provides 50 W of saturated output power with 21
dB of large signal gain and greater than 40% power–added
efficiency. For satellite communications applications,
QPA1017D provides 25 W linear power with 25 dBc third
order intermodulation distortion products.
To simplify system integration, QPA1017D is fully matched
to 50 ohms. Input port is DC grounded for improved ESD
performance, output port is AC coupled with integrated DC
blocking capacitor.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant
