QPA2598 Datasheet | Qorvo

Description Qorvo’s QPA2598 is a packaged broadband driver amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s QGa N15 0.15 um Ga N on Si C process. Operating from 6 to 12 GHz, the QPA2598 achieves 2.5 W output power with a Power Added Efficiency of 30 % and harmonic suppression of -30d Bc. Under nominal bias, it provides 22 d B small signal gain and 16 d B of large signal power gain. The QPA2598 is available in small form factor 4x4 mm overmold QFN which allows for easy system integration. The QPA2598 is an ideal choice to drive Qorvo’s high performing Ga N HPAs allowing the user to run both driver and HPA off the same voltage rail.
