ENGPA00238A

4-W, 50% p.a.e. GaN Power Amplifier, DIE, 8 – 11.5 GHz

The ENGPA00238A is a X-band GaN-on-SiC HEMT two-stage 4W, 50% power added efficiency (PAE) amplifier, that operates across 8 - 11.5 GHz. The design is 50 ohm matched and does not require any off-chip choke. The amplifier has a typical PAE of 50% or more across 8 to 11.5 GHz at 4 W output power, at 24 V bias. The amplifier has gold backside metallization and is designed for gold-tin eutectic or high thermal conductivity epoxy attachment.
