Qorvo QPA1314T power amplifier

Qorvo’s QPA1314T power amplifier, manufactured using the company’s production 0.15 μm gallium nitride-on-silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) process (QGaN15) and mounted to a high thermal conductivity tab, is a high-power MMIC amplifier suitable for commercial and defence RF communication applications.

The power amplifier features an extended frequency range of 12.75 to 15.35 GHz and achieves 55 W of saturated output power in its standard range of 13.75 to 14.5 GHz. The device integrates DC blocking capacitors on both the input and output ports and is fully matched to 50Ω to simplify system integration. The product’s RF ports are also DC coupled to ground to achieve optimal ESD performance.

Optimised for RF satellite and radar communications and datalinks in commercial and military markets, the device is lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS compliant and 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer for compliance to electrical specifications.
