Corvo Supplies QPA3069 Power Amplifiers for Defense and Aerospace
Published2020.01.23 10:32Suitable for defense and aerospace applications
Mouser Electronics announced on the 22nd that it is supplying Qorvo's QPA3069 power amplifier .
Designed for use in defense and aerospace applications, the 100W QPA3069 provides high power density and power section efficiency when designing 2.7–3.5GHz RF-based circuits.
The QPA3069, a high-power S-band power amplifier produced by Corvo's 0.25µm gallium nitride-on-silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) process, simplifies the system integration process and has a compact package of 7.0 × 7.0 × 0.85mm.
The power addition efficiency (PAE) of the QPA3069, which provides a saturated output power of 58 dBm or more and a large signal gain of 25 dB or more, is 53% or more, and the RF output power at which it begins to draw a positive gate current (PSAT) is 50 dBm. The input reflection loss is at least 13dB, and the output reflection loss is at least 7dB.
To simplify system integration, the QPA2309 supports two fully matched RF ports of 50Ω, each coupled with a DC blocking capacitor.
It operates at an temperature of –40 to +85°C and provides a power loss of 117W over the maximum temperature range. It is lead-free and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for S-band radar applications.
