Nxbeam expands its Ka-band power amplifier portfolio with the release of a surface mount 8 W GaN power amplifier. The NPA2040-SM operates from 27.5 to 31 GHz and provides an average saturated output power of 8 W, 25% power added efficiency, and 22 dB linear gain. This part is ideal for satellite communication ground terminals and point-to-point communication links and can be used as a driver for our higher power 20W and 35W GaN power amplifier MMICs.
