Qorvo QPA2598 6GHz to 12GHz 2.5W GaN Driver Amplifier
Qorvo QPA2598 6GHz to 12GHz 2.5W GaN Driver Amplifier is a packaged broadband driver amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s QGaN15 0.15µm GaN on SiC process. Operating from 6 to 12GHz, the QPA2598 achieves 2.5W output power with a Power Added Efficiency of 30% and harmonic suppression of -30dBc. Under nominal bias, it provides 22dB of small-signal gain and 16dB of large-signal power gain. The QPA2598 is available in a small form factor of 4x4mm over-mold QFN, allowing easy system integration.
The QPA2598 is an ideal choice to drive Qorvo’s high performing GaN HPAs allowing the user to run both driver and HPA off the same voltage rail.
