QPA2237

0.03 – 2.5 GHz 10 W GaN Power Amplifier

Product Description
Qorvo’s QPA2237 is a wideband amplifier fabricated on
Qorvo’s production 0.25um GaN on SiC process. The
QPA2237 operates from 0.03 – 2.5 GHz and provides 10W
of saturated output power with 13 dB of large signal gain
and 52% power-added efficiency.

The QPA2237 is available in a low-cost, surface-mount, 20


lead, 4x4 OVM QFN. It is ideally suited to support both QFN 4x4 mm 20L
radar and communication applications across defense and
commercial markets as well as electronic warfare. The Product Features
QPA2237 is fully matched to 50Ω at both RF ports allowing
for simple system integration. DC blocks are required on • Frequency Range: 0.03 – 2.5 GHz
both RF ports and the drain voltage must be injected • PSAT: 40 dBm at PIN = 27 dBm
through an off chip bias-tee on the RF output port.
• PAE: 52%
Lead-free and RoHS compliant. • Large Signal Gain: 13 dB
• Small Signal Gain: 18.5 dB
• Input Return Loss: 9 dB
• Output Return Loss: 9.5 dB
• Bias: VD = 32 V, IDQ = 360 mA
• Wideband Flat Power
• Package Dimensions: 4.0 x 4.0 x 0.85 mm

Performance is typical across frequency. Please


reference electrical specification table and data plots for
Functional Block Diagram more details.

Applications
• Commercial and military radar
• Communications
• Electronic Warfare
