General Description
Qorvo’s QPA2237 is a wideband amplifier fabricated on
Qorvo’s production 0.25um GaN on SiC process. The
QPA2237 operates from 0.03 – 2.5 GHz and provides
greater than 10W of saturated output power with greater
than 13 dB of large signal gain and greater than 48%
power-added efficiency.
The QPA2237 is available in a low-cost, surface-mount,
20 lead, 4x4 OVM QFN. It is ideally suited to support
both radar and communication applications across
defense and commercial markets as well as electronic
warfare. The QPA2237 is fully matched to 50Ω at both
RF ports allowing for simple system integration. DC
blocks are required on both RF ports and the drain
voltage must be injected through an off chip bias-tee on
the RF output port.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
Evaluation boards are available upon request.
