    Qorvo's QPA9226 is a high-linearity three-stage power amplifier in a low-cost surface-mount package with on-chip bias control and temperature control circuits, suitable for small cell or enterprise Femto cell base station applications.

    The QPA9226 provides 34 dB high gain and −47 dBc ACLR at +24 dBm linear power using a 20 MHz LTE signal over the 2.5 – 2.7 GHz frequency range covering 3GPP Bands 7, 38, 41.

    The QPA9226 integrates three high performance amplifier stages to allow for a compact system design and requires very few external components for operation. The amplifier is bias adjustable allowing the amplifier's power consumption to be optimized for specific performance requirements. The QPA9226 is available in a leadfree/ RoHS-compliant 7 x 7 mm surface mount package.
