QPA1722 K-Band Gallium Nitride Power Amplifier: Delivers 10 W Output Power for LEO Satellite Communications and Radar Applications
QPA1722 Product Overview
The QPA1722 is a high-performance K-band power amplifier (PA) introduced by Qorvo, a global leader in connectivity and power solutions. Manufactured using Qorvo’s proven 0.15 µm gallium nitride-on-silicon carbide (GaN-on-SiC) process (QGaN15), this device delivers exceptional RF performance and power output across the 17.7–20.2 GHz frequency range. The QPA1722 is specifically optimized for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite communications (SATCOM) and radar applications, providing system designers with a more efficient and compact solution.
As a professional electronic component supplier, Mingjiada Electronics now offers genuine, in-stock QPA1722 units with fast delivery. Please feel free to contact us for purchasing inquiries.
Key Features and Technical Advantages
The QPA1722 integrates powerful functionality into a compact 6.0 x 5.0 x 1.64 mm SMT package, offering significant advantages over comparable devices, including three times the instantaneous bandwidth, a 38% reduction in footprint, and a 10% increase in efficiency. These characteristics make it an ideal choice for satellite platforms with size and power constraints, as well as high-performance radar systems.
The following are the product’s key performance parameters:
Frequency Range: 17.7 – 20.2 GHz (K-band)
Saturated Output Power (PSAT): 40 dBm (10 W), Input Power (PIN) = 22 dBm
Linear Output Power (POUT): 37 dBm (5 W–6 W)
Small-signal gain: 26 dB
Power-added efficiency (PAE): 35% (PIN = 22 dBm)
Third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3): -25 dBc (POUT/tone = 34 dBm)
Bias Conditions: Drain Voltage (VD) = 20 V, Quiescent Drain Current (IDQ) = 224 mA, Gate Voltage (VG) = -2.5 V (typical)
Integrated Features: On-chip power detector, DC-grounded input/output ports for ESD protection, on-chip DC-blocking capacitors
Application Scenarios
With its high power density, high efficiency, and high gain, the QPA1722 is widely applicable to a variety of RF front-end applications in both military and commercial sectors:
Satellite Communications (SATCOM): Particularly suitable for uplink and communication systems in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, meeting global broadband connectivity needs.
