High performance broadband GaN power amplifier

Power amplifiers are used in every circuit and play their own role. Qorvo®, Inc. (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading provider of RF solutions in mobile applications, infrastructure and aerospace and defense applications Today we launch the world's highest performance broadband power amplifier (PA) --- TGA2962.

The power amplifier Qorvo launched today is designed for communication applications and test instrumentation applications and has multiple performance breakthroughs: It can provide industry-leading 10 watts of RF power and 13dB large signal gain and 20-35% power added efficiency. This combination gives system designers the flexibility they need to improve system performance and reliability while reducing component count, footprint and cost.

Roger Hall, general manager of Qorvo's High Performance Solutions business unit, said: "Qorvo has taken a big step forward in broadband with the TGA2962, which not only extends the frequency range but also adds other performance enhancements. No other company currently offers this kind of capability. Output power, bandwidth, power-added efficiency and large signal gain in a single power amplifier.”

The TGA2962 is built on Qorvo's highly reliable gallium nitride (GaN) QGaN15 process technology and delivers industry-leading features. In addition, component integration has been improved, and the 13dB large signal gain enables the use of small drive amplifiers, further reducing device size, which is a good solution for applications that require improved size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) plan.

Eric Higham, director of Advanced Semiconductor Applications Services and Advanced Defense Systems Services at Strategy Analytics, said: "Strong demand growth for upgrading communications applications will also provide power for the GaN growth engine. This is good for Qorvo. information."

The TGA2962 wideband 10 W GaN PA die is now available to qualified customers with the following specifications. Qorvo offers the industry's largest and most innovative GaN-on-SiC product portfolio, helping customers significantly improve efficiency and operating bandwidth. Qorvo products feature high power density, small size, excellent gain, high reliability, and mature processes. Mass production began as early as 2000. This is why Qorvo® has launched the industry's highest performance broadband GaN power amplifier, which has certain reference significance when everyone makes a choice.
