ENGPA00239A

10-W, 65% p.a.e. GaN Power Amplifier, 2.7 – 3.5 GH

The ENGPA00239A is a S-band GaN-on-SiC HEMT two-stage 10 W, 65% power added efficiency (PAE) amplifier, that operates across 2.7 to 3.5 GHz. The design is 50 ohm matched and does require an off-chip choke (2nd stage drain bias) for best performance below 1 GHz. The amplifier has a typical PAE of 65% or more across 2.7 to 3.5 GHz at 10 W output power, at 24 V bias, when assembled with a wire choke. The amplifier has gold backside metallization and is designed for gold-tin eutectic or high thermal conductivity epoxy attachment.
