General Description
The QPD0050 is a wide band over-molded QFN discrete
power amplifier. The device is a single stage unmatched
power amplifier transistor.
The QPD0050 can be used in Doherty architecture for
the final stage of a base station power amplifier for small
cell, microcell, and active antenna systems. The
QPD0050 can also be used as a driver in a macrocell
base station power amplifier.
The wide bandwidth of the QPD0050 makes it suitable
for many different applications from DC to 3.6 GHz.
QPD0050 can deliver P
SAT
of 82 W at 48 V operation at
2.6 GHz.
Lead-free and ROHS compliant.
