Developed with GaN HEMT power process, APN228 and APN229 provide respective saturated output power of 13 and 8 W. These broadband, 2-stage amplifiers operate from 27–31 GHz and, when integrated in solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs), enable increased data rate in communication systems. Respectively, 16.0 mm² APN228 and 7.41 mm² APN229 provide 19.5 and 20 dB linear gain, 41.2 dBm (13 W) and 39 dBm (8 W) saturated output power, and >27% and >30% Power Added Efficiency (PAE).
