Qorvo's QPA1314 is a packaged high power MMIC amplifier, fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). QPA1314 is targeted for 13.75 –14.5 GHz Satcom band. Linear power is 20 W with 25 dBc third order intermodulation distortion products. It provides 40 W of output power with 27 dB of large signal gain while achieving 30% power-added efficiency. Operating frequency can extend to 12.75 – 15.35 GHz if desired.
The QPA1314 is packaged in a 10-lead 15 x 15 mm boltdown with a Cu base for superior thermal management. To simplify system integration, the QPA1314 is fully matched to 50 ohms with DC grounded I/O ports for optimum ESD performance.
