Smallest wideband 50-W power amplifier solution targets military communications
November 10, 2011 | Paul Buckley | 222903667
Nitronex has developed the NPA1004, a 1-2 GHz, 50 W high-gain power amplifier for the military communications market. Fully integrated input matching, inter-stage matching, and RF biasing is provided in a small 0.28 in2 package, allowing subsystem designers to shrink the footprint of the power amplifier signal chain compared to competing solutions.
The NPA1004 achieves 27 dB small signal gain, 50 W saturated output power and 55% typical drain efficiency across 1-2 GHz. The miniature NPA1004 features an off-chip output match that allows designers to tailor performance response to their unique system needs. The high gain of the MMIC PA allows designers to eliminate a driver stage and the high levels of integration reduce board space, while simplifying design and manufacturing processes.
Availability
The NPA1004 is currently available in sample and pre-production quantities.
