    Qorvo's QPA2962 is a wideband power amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's QGaN15 GaN on SiC process. The QPA2962 operates from 2 to 20 GHz, providing 10 W of saturated power with 13 dB large signal gain and 22 % power-added efficiency at 22 V drain bias. RF ports are matched to 50 Ω,  including integrated DC blocking capacitors and a RF choke.  

    Packaged in a 5 x 5 mm air cavity laminate package, QPA2962 provides designers with a convenient SMT compatible device that delivers a valuable combination of wideband power, gain and efficiency while reducing size and cost.  QPA2962 is ideally suited for wideband communications systems, electronic warfare, test instrumentation and radar applications across both military and commercial markets.
    QPA2962 is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to ensure compliance to electrical specifications.

    Lead free and RoHS compliant.
