Product Overview

Qorvo's QPA1111 is a high power, packaged X-Band

MMIC amplifier fabricated using Qorvo's production 0.15

um GaN-on-SiC process (QGaN15). The QPA1111

operates from 8.5 – 10.5 GHz, typically provides 30 W

saturated output power with power-added efficiency of 45%

and small signal gain of 38 dB.

To simplify system integration, the QPA1111 is fully

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

optimum ESD performance. Also, there are on-chip

blocking capacitors following the DC grounds on the input

and output ports.

The QPA1111 is ideal for supporting communications and

radar applications in both commercial and military markets.

The QPA1111 is 100% DC and RF tested to ensure

compliance to electrical specifications.

Lead-free and RoHS compliant
