X-band high-power amplifier

26 February 2021 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

The CHA8212-99F is a three-stage GaN high-power amplifier (HPA) in the frequency band of 8,5-11,5 GHz. It typically provides 25 W of output power associated to 36% of power added efficiency (PAE). The small signal gain exhibits more than 30 dB, and overall power supply is 28 V/0,84 A (quiescent current).

This circuit is a very versatile amplifier for high-performance systems. It is dedicated to defence applications and well suited for a wide range of microwave applications and systems. The part is developed on a robust 0,25 µm gate length GaN HEMT process and is available as a bare die.

Main features:

• 8,5-11,5 GHz frequency range.

• Linear gain of 34 dB.

• 44 dBm output power for +20 dBm input power.

• Associated PAE is 36% for +20 dBm input power.

• Associated Id is 2,5 A for +20 dBm input power.

• DC bias: 28 V @ Idq of 0,84 A.

• Chip size of 5,63 x 4,23 x 0,1 mm.
