NPA2040-SM

The NPA2040-SM from Nxbeam is a GaN-on-SiC Power Amplifier (PA) that operates from 27.5 to 31 GHz (Ka-Band). It delivers a saturated output power of +39.6 dBm (~9 W) with a small signal gain of 22.5 dB and a power-added efficiency (PAE) of 25%. This PA is fabricated on 0.2 µm GaN HEMT-on-SiC technology and has RF input and output ports matched to 50 Ohms. It requires a DC supply of 28 V and consumes less than 550 mA of current. This power amplifier is available in a QFN package that measures 9.30 x 9.30 x 2.00 mm, enabling ease of integration. It is ideal for Ka-band satellite communication, 5G infrastructure, and point-to-point/point-to-multipoint digital radios.
