QPA2040D
QPA2040D is 2 Watt GaN Power Amplifier manufactured by Qorvo.
Overview
Qorvo's QPA2040D is a Ka-band power amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's 0.15um Ga N on Si C process (QGa N15). Operating between 20 and 40 GHz, it achieves saturated output power of 2 W with power-added efficiency of 13%.
To simplify system integration, the QPA2040D is fully matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both RF I/O ports. The RF input is DC blocked, and the RF output is a DC short.
The QPA2040D is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to ensure pliance to electrical specifications.
Lead-free and Ro HS pliant.
