QPA1010

Qorvo's QPA1010, QPA1010D are X-band high power MMIC amplifiers, fabricated on Qorvo's production 0.15um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). These amplifiers operate from 7.9 - 11 GHz and typically provide 15 W saturated output power with power-added efficiency of 38% and large-signal gain of 18 dB.  

This combination of wideband performance provides the flexibility designers are looking for to improve system performance while reducing size and cost.
