Cree has announced the release of a new GaN HEMT MMIC power amplifier, the CMPA0060025F, which offers 25 Watts output power over an instantaneous bandwidth of 20 MHz to 6 GHz. This product is suitable for military and ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) applications that require high power and broadband amplification up to 6 GHz. The device is packaged within a 1,6 square centimetre footprint, making it one of the smallest high-power amplifiers covering this bandwidth available today. The MMIC can operate with supply voltages up to 50 V and typically has 12 dB power gain.
