QPL1002 0.03 - 3 GHz GaN Low Noise Amplifier

QPL

The QPL1002 is a wideband cascode low noise amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s 0.25um GaN on SiC production process. This cascode LNA is robust to 5W of input power with 17dB typical gain and 1.2dB noise figure from 0.03 GHz to 3.0 GHz. The QPL1002 is ideal for wideband communication applications across defense and commercial markets.

The QPL1002 is housed in a low-cost 16 lead 3x3 plastic overmolded QFN package.  It is fully matched to 50 ohms on both RF ports eliminating the need for impedance matching typical of LNAs in this band.  DC blocks and bias chokes are required given the low frequency nature of this amplifier.
