    Qorvo’s QPA1009 is a laminate packaged wide band power amplifier MMIC fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). Covering 10.7 – 12.7 GHz, the QPA1009 provides greater than 16 Watts (42 dBm) of saturated output power and 16 dB of large-signal gain while achieving 33% power-added efficiency.

    The QPA1009 RF ports have DC blocking capacitors and are matched to 50 ohms.  The QPA1009 RF input port is DC coupled to ground for optimum ESD performance.

    The QPA1009 is packaged in a 6.0 x 5.0 mm laminate package. The QPA1009 can support a wide range of operating conditions, including CW operation, making it well-suited for both commercial and military systems.

    Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
