A new X-band GaN power amplifier from Qorvo has arrived at distributor Richardson RFPD who will also offer full design support capabilities. The TGM2635-CP operates from 7.9 to 11GHz and provides 100W of saturated output power with 22.5dB of large signal gain and greater than 35% power-added efficiency.

It is offered in a 10-lead 19.05 mm x 19.05 mm bolt-down package with a pure Cu base for superior thermal management. Both RF ports are internally DC-blocked and matched to 50 ohms, allowing for simple system integration. 

The TGM2635-CP is suitable for both military and commercial X-band radar systems, satellite communications systems, and data links applications.

Additional key features of the device include:  

  • PSAT: > +50 dBm (PIN = +28 dBm)
  • Large signal gain: > 22 dB (PIN = +28 dBm)
  • Small signal gain: > 26 dB
  • Bias: VD = 28 V, IDQ = 1.3 A, VG = -2.6 V typical
  • Package dimensions: 19.05 mm x 19.05 mm x 4.52 mm
  • Performance under pulsed operation
