Versatile power amplifier revealed by RFMD
The multitasking device incorporates the firm’s advanced gallium nitride HEMT technology.
RFMD’s new RFHA1023 is a 36V 225W high power discrete amplifier designed for L-Band pulsed radar, air traffic control and surveillance, and general purpose broadband amplifier applications.
RFHA1023 225W GaN Wideband Pulsed Power Amplifier
The RFHA1023 is a high terminal impedance matched power transistor providing 225W with 55% drain efficiency, packaged in a hermetic, flanged ceramic package that provides excellent thermal stability with advanced heat sink and power dissipation technologies. Ease of integration is accomplished through the incorporation of single, optimized matching networks that provide wideband gain and power performance in a single amplifier covering the 1.2GHz to 1.4GHz frequency band.
The evaluation board layout is optimised for 50Ω operation and the device has a pulse width of 1ms and a duty cycle of 10%. It also has a small signal gain of 15dB.
RFMD says the device is available now.
