An excellent alternative to traveling wave tube amplifiers, Qorvo’s Spatium™ QPR3238 is an integrated solid state, spatial-combining amplifier and driver amplifier with an operating range of 32–38 GHz while achieving 51.5 dBm (CW) of instantaneous saturated power. With its maximum performance in output power, gain, efficiency, and power flatness, this Spatium is the ideal building block for microwave high power transmitters for EW and radar applications.
The QPR3238 includes a DC enable function that can be used to pulse / modulate the RF output of the amplifier. In BLANK (Disable) mode, the amplifier’s current draw is reduced to near 0A, resulting in a reduced noise and power dissipation.
Qorvo’s patented and field-proven Spatium combining technology provides unprecedented Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) performance in a rugged, compact size and weight which reduces total cost of ownership compared to alternative technologies. This product offering combines Qorvo’s market leadership in GaN technology and wideband MMIC design along with our high-count combining techniques for a best in class solution to power amplification.
