Manufactured on a GaAs process, the QPA9510 RF power amplifier from Qorvo covers a frequency range of 100 MHz to 1 GHz. It delivers +35 dBm P1dB output and up to 34 dB gain, with on-chip analog gain ...
A class-A amplifier is defined as an amplifier that is biased so that the output current flows at all times. Thus, the input signal-drive level to the amplifier is kept small enough to avoid driving ...
A tough challenge for test engineers is explored in terms of test methods, pitfalls, and measurement errors. For the test engineer, RF and microwave power amplifier testing imposes unique challenges.
This article is part of the TechXchange: Gallium Nitride (GaN). NXP rolled out a family of gallium-nitride (GaN)-based RF power amplifiers (PAs) that uniquely leverages top-side cooling to reduce the ...
