Product Overview

Qorvo's QPA0524 is a high power, packaged Ku-Band

MMIC amplifier fabricated using Qorvo's production 0.15

um GaN-on-SiC process (QGaN15). The QPA0524 targets

the 24.25-26.5 GHz for 5G and Satcom band. It provides

400 mW linear power with ACPR of -30 dBc at 802.11ac

160MHz MSC9. Furthermore, The QPA0524 can deliver

output powers up to 5 W with 35 dB of small-signal gain and

23% power-added efficiency.

To simplify system integration, the QPA0524 is fully

matched to 50 ohms with DC grounded I/O ports for

optimum ESD performance.

The QPA0524 is ideal for supporting 5G linear power,

communications, and radar applications in both commercial

and military markets.

The QPA0524 is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure

compliance to electrical specifications.

Lead-free and RoHS compliant
