Ka-band power amplifier

26 June 2019 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

MACOM Technology Solutions’ new MAAP-011250 is a balanced 4 W power amplifier (PA) operating from 27,5 – 30 GHz, making it well suited for SATCOM and VSAT applications.

With the addition of this new model, MACOM now offers 2 W, 2,3 W, 3 W, 4 W and 7 W power output options spanning frequencies ranging from 27 to 31,5 GHz. These new GaAs-based Ka-band PAs can provide strong linear gain, which is expected to enable customers to efficiently increase the power from the input to the output port with minimal tradeoffs.

The MAAP-011250 is assembled in a lead-free 5 mm 32-lead AQFN plastic package. It provides 24 dB of linear gain, 4 W saturated output power and output IP3 of 41 dBm while biased at 6 V. The device can be used as a power amplifier stage or as a driver stage in higher-power applications.
