Product Overview

Qorvo’s QPA0023 is a high-performance driver amplifier

fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um pHEMT process

(QPHT15). Covering 6 – 18 GHz, the QPA0023 provides

14 dB small signal gain and 29 dBm P1dB and saturated

power of 30 dBm. In addition, the device can provide low

IMD3 level of −42 dBc at Pout = 20 dBm/tone.

QPA0023 is matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC

blocking caps on both I/O ports for easy handling and

simple system integration. It is an ideal choice for EW and

communication systems.
