CPI’s Beverly Microwave Division presents the VSC3645 GaN 4.0 kW pulsed solid state power amplifier module operating in the C-band (5.2 – 5.9 GHz). This high efficiency, high power, compact amplifier is highly efficient, easy to maintain, and is designed to easily create high power C-band radar transmitters.

Integra Technologies introduces IGT2731L120 with GaN on SiC HEMT technology, exhibiting 13 dB typical gain, and 50% drain efficiency. This device is 100% high power RF tested in a 50Ω RF test fixture.

The Qorvo QPD1022 is a 10 W (P3dB) discrete GaN on SiC HEMT which operates from DC to 12 GHz. This wideband device is a single stage unmatched power amplifier transistor in an over-molded plastic package. The wide bandwidth of the QPD1022 makes it suitable for many different applications from DC to 12 GHz.

Microsemi has leveraged its industry-leading expertise in S-band RF power transistors to create a family of GaN-on-SiC solutions that are tailored to support the requirements of next-generation systems requiring higher power, better efficiency, and wider bandwidth than is possible using conventional silicon or SiC process technologies. For applications operating in frequency bands up to 20GHz, the wide bandgap material properties of GaN-on-SiC technology enable smaller systems with improved voltage, gain, broadband performance, drain efficiency, and long-term reliability.

Northrop Grumman’s first three entries in their GaN MMIC Amplifiers have been developed for defense and commercial ground satellite communications terminal markets and the commercial wireless infrastructure market. 

The MDS500L is a Vcc = 50V, class C bipolar transistor specifically designed to handle the heavy pulsing of the Mode-S ELM format (32uS on / 18uS off x 48pulses burst). The transistor provides greater than 500W of output power with an input power of 70W...

The new VRF152 from Microsemi is a gold-metalized silicon n-channel RF power transistor designed for broadband commercial and hi-rel applications requiring high power and gain without compromising reliability, ruggedness, or inter-modulations distortion. It can operate up to 175MHz at 150W with a typical gain of 13dB at very high efficiency on a 50V DC supply.

The PD5xxxx series of radio-frequency (RF) power transistors is aimed at wireless base station and mobile radio applications where high volume...
