80 W; 2.7 - 3.8 GHz; GaN MMIC; Power Amplifier

The CMPA2738060 is a gallium nitride (GaN) High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). GaN has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium arsenide; including higher breakdown voltage; higher saturated electron drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. GaN HEMTs also offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. This MMIC contains a two-stage reactively matched amplifier design approach enabling very wide bandwidths to be achieved. This MMIC enables extremely wide bandwidths to be achieved in a small footprint screw-down package.
