50 V GaN Amplifier from Qorvo Delivers 125 W

S-Band Radar Amplifier: QPA2513

June 3, 2021

RFMW announced design and sales support for an S-Band radar amplifier from Qorvo. The QPA2513 is a two-stage, internally matched GaN power amplifier module operating in the 3.1 to 3.5 GHz frequency range. 10 percent duty cycle pulsed RF provides typically 51 dBm of saturated output power with 30 dB of large-signal gain and 62 percent of power added efficiency. The QPA2513 is matched to 50 Ohms with integrated bias circuits and DC blocking capacitor at input port. An SMD package provides good thermal properties and is ideal for use in both commercial and military radar systems.
