QPA0012D RF Amplifier by Qorvo

The QPA0012D from Qorvo is a Low Noise Distributed Amplifier MMIC that operates from 2 to 22 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 21 dBm with a gain of 11 dB and has a noise figure of 3 dB. This amplifier has an automatic gain control (AGC) function that allows users to adjust gain via the control gate pin. It requires a DC supply of 6 V and consumes 60 mA of current. This distributed amplifier is available as a die that measures 2.5 x 1.72 mm with 50-ohm matched ports and on-chip DC bias choke and blocking capacitors. It is an ideal alternative to costly hybrid amplifiers and is suitable for use in low-noise receiver systems, electronic warfare (EW), and other communication system applications.
