QPA1314T
13.75 – 14.5 GHz 55 Watt GaN Power Amplifier
Product Overview
Qorvo's QPA1314T is a high power MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15), mounted to a high thermal conductivity tab. The QPA1314T is targeted to the 13.75-14.5 GHz Satcom band. Linear power is 20 W with 25 dBc third order intermodulation distortion products. It provides 55 W of saturated output power with 22.5 dB of large signal gain while achieving 37% power-added efficiency. Operating frequency can extend to 12.75 – 15.35 GHz if desired.
To simplify system integration, the QPA1314T 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.
