GaN-on-SiC MMIC amplifier 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 bolt-down 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.

The QPA1314 is suitable for supporting communications and radar applications in both commercial and military markets.

The QPA1314 is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure compliance to electrical specifications.

Lead-free and RoHS compliant
