Revolutionary K-Band Power Amplifier: Integrated Power Detector Unveiled

The Qorvo QPA4536 is a high-performance K-Band Power Amplifier that comes with an integrated power detector. It operates within the frequency range of 24.2 – 26.5 GHz and is built using Qorvo's advanced power pHEMT production process.

One of the standout features of the QPA4536 is its impressive output power capabilities. It typically provides 33 dBm of saturated output power, making it suitable for demanding applications. Additionally, it offers 31.5 dBm output power at 1dB gain compression, ensuring reliable performance even under challenging conditions.

With a small signal gain of 18 dB, the QPA4536 delivers excellent amplification capabilities. Furthermore, it boasts a Third Order Intercept of 43 dBm at 23 dBm SCL, enhancing its ability to handle high-power signals effectively.

To simplify system integration, the QPA4536 is fully matched to 50 ohms and features integrated DC clocking caps on both I/O ports. This design choice ensures seamless compatibility with various systems and reduces the need for additional components.

The QPA4536 is available in a low-cost, surface mount 28 lead 5×5 mm QFN package. This compact form factor makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, including communications and radar systems in both commercial and military markets. Additionally, it is lead-free and RoHS compliant, meeting the highest industry standards for environmental friendliness.
