Three-stage 25W GaN power amplifier operates from 13.4GGHz to 16.5GHz

Qorvo's TGA2219-CP 25W GaN Power Amplifier is now available from Mouser stock. Offered as a three-stage power amplifier operating from 13.4 - 16.5GHz, the device was developed using TriQuint's production 0.15um GaN on SiC process. The TGA2219-CP amplifier provides >30dB small signal gain with 31% power added efficiency. It is fully matched to 50ohm with integrated DC blocking capacitors on RF ports to simplify system integration. With its pure-copper base and high efficiency, the TGA2219-CP minimizes the strain on the system-level cooling requirements, resulting in reduced system operating costs. Superior electrical performance and thermal management makes the TGA2219-CP well-suited to supporting communications and radar applications in both commercial and defence markets, says the company.
