QPA0506 RF Amplifier by Qorvo
The QPA0506 from Qorvo is a C-Band Power Amplifier that operates from 5 to 6 GHz. It delivers an output power of 4 W (~36.5 dBm) with a gain of 27.4 dB and has a power-added efficiency of 53%. This amplifier is fabricated using Qorvo’s QGaN25 0.25 um GaN on the SiC production process and is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure compliance with electrical specifications. It requires a DC supply of 25 V, consumes 37.5 mA of current, and can also support a range of bias voltages to optimize power and PAE to system requirements. This amplifier is available in a plastic overmolded package that measures 4.00 x 4.00 x 0.85 mm and is ideal for radar, communications, and SATCOM applications.
