QPD1017
450W, 50V, 3.1 – 3.5 GHz, GaN RF IMFET
Product Overview
The QPD1017 is a 450 W (P
3dB
) internally matched discrete
GaN on SiC HEMT which operates from 3.1 to 3.5 GHz on
a 50V supply rail. The device is GaN IMFET fully matched
to 50 Ω in an industry standard air cavity package and is
ideally suited for military radar.
ROHS compliant.
Evaluation boards are available upon request.
