QPA0016 13.75 – 14.5 GHz 15 Watt GaN Power Amplifier Product Overview Qorvo's QPA0016 is a high power, packaged Ku-Band MMIC amplifier fabricated using Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN-on-SiC process (QGaN15). The QPA0016 targets the 13.75-14.5 GHz Satcom band while providing 5-Watts of linear power with third-order intermodulation distortion products of 25 dBc. Furthermore, the QPA0016 can deliver output powers up to 15-Watts with 35 dB of small-signal gain and 32% power-added efficiency. The operating frequency can extend to 12.75-15.35 GHz if desired. To simplify system integration, the QPA0016 is fully matched to 50 ohms with DC grounded I/O ports for optimum ESD performance. Also, there are on-chip blocking capacitors following the DC grounds on the input and output ports.
