RFHA3832

10W GaN Wide-Band Power Amplifier

The RFHA3832 is a wideband Power Amplifier designed for CW and pulsed

applications such as wireless infrastructure, RADAR, two way radios and

general purpose amplification. Using an advanced high power density

Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor process, these high-performance

amplifiers achieve high efficiency, flat gain, and large instantaneous

bandwidth in a single amplifier design. The RFHA3832 is an input matched

GaN transistor packaged in an air cavity ceramic package which provides

excellent thermal stability through the use of advanced heat sink and power

dissipation technologies. Ease of integration is accomplished through the

incorporation of optimized input matching network within the package that

provides wideband gain and power performance in a single amplifier. An

external output match offers the flexibility of further optimizing power and

efficiency for any sub-band within the overall bandwidth.
