Qorvo QPA1314T 55 W GaN Power Amplifier

Mouser Electronics now stocks the QPA1314T power amplifier (PA) from Qorvo. Manufactured using Qorvo’s production 0.15 μm gallium nitride-on-silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) process (QGaN15) and mounted to a high thermal conductivity tab, the power amplifier is a high-power MMIC amplifier suitable for commercial and defence RF communication applications.

The power amplifier features an extended frequency range of 12.75 to 15.35 GHz and achieves 55 W of saturated output power in its standard range of 13.75 to 14.5 GHz. The device integrates DC blocking capacitors on both the input and output ports and is fully matched to 50 ohms to simplify system integration. The power amplifier’s RF ports are also DC coupled to ground to achieve enhanced ESD performance.

Designed for RF satellite and radar communications and datalinks in commercial and military markets, the power amplifier is lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS compliant and 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer for compliance to electrical specifications. For evaluation and development, Mouser also offers the QPA1314DEVB evaluation board.
