QPA1724 Ku/K-Band GaN Power Amplifier

Qorvo QPA1724 Ku- K-Band GaN Power Amplifier is optimized for 17.3GHz to 21.2GHz, delivering 20W of saturated output power with 16dB of large signal gain while achieving 27% power-added efficiency. To simplify system integration, the QPA1724 is fully matched to 50Ω with DC grounded I/O ports for optimum ESD performance. The device also features on-chip blocking capacitors following the DC grounds on the input and output ports. The QPA1724 is fabricated on a 0.15µm QGaN15 GaN (Gallium Nitride) on SiC (Silicon Carbide) process and is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure compliance with electrical specifications.
