QPB0218N
QPB0218N is 2 - 18GHz GaN Power Amplifier manufactured by qorvo.
2 - 18 GHz Ga N Power Amplifier
Product Description
An excellent alternative to traveling wave tube amplifiers, Qorvo’s Spatium™ QPB0218N is a solid state, spatial bining amplifier with an operating range of 2- 18 GHz. With its maximum performance in output power, gain, power added efficiency, and frequency range, this Spatium is the ideal building block for microwave subsystems with wide-ranging applications.
Qorvo’s patented and field-proven Spatium bining technology provides unprecedented Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) performance in a rugged, pact size and weight which reduces total cost of ownership pared to alternative technologies. This product offering bines Qorvo’s market leadership in Ga N technology and MMIC design along with our high-count bining techniques for a best in class solution to power amplification.
The QPB0218N is equipped with an integrated bias card, which allows for convenience of operation, reducing electrical losses in the bias networks, and weight reduction over using a separate bias card. It provides individualized bias settings for each amplifier blade in the Spatium SSPA as well as drain pulsing up to 1 MHz PRF for superior power savings and noise performance.
