Richardson RFPD Introduces New High Efficiency 0.5W Small Cell Power Amplifier From Qorvo

3-stage PA in low-cost surface mount package with on-chip bias control and temperature- control circuits

Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced recently the availability and full design support capabilities for a new high efficiency 0.5W small cell power amplifier from Qorvo.

The TQP9326 is a three-stage PA in a low-cost surface-mount package with on-chip bias control and temperature-control circuits, suitable for small cell base station applications. The new device provides 34 dB gain and +27 dBm linear power with linearization correction over the 2.5–2.7 GHz frequency range for Bands 7, 40, and 41. With pre-distortion, the amplifier is able to achieve −50 dBc ACLR at +27 dBm output power using 20 MHz LTE signal.

The TQP9326 integrates three high-performance amplifier stages onto a module to allow for compact system design and requires few external components for operation. The amplifier is bias-adjustable, allowing optimization of its power consumption. The TQP9326 is available in a 3.5 mm x 4.5 mm surface mount package.

“This small cell power amplifier is an excellent example of the advancements Qorvo is making in power added efficiency for applications requiring very linear amplifier response,” commented Dave Silvius, Director, Strategic Marketing, Richardson RFPD. “It is an exciting addition to our portfolio of RF components for cellular infrastructure.”

According to Qorvo, additional key features of the TQP9326 include:

• 2.3–2.7 GHz frequency range
• Internally matched to 50 Ω input/output
• 34 dB gain
• 22% PAE at +27 dBm
• 115 mA quiescent current
• Single supply voltage: +5 V
