25 W; 13.75 to 14.5 GHz; 40 V; Ku-Band GaN MMIC Power Amplifier

The CMPA1D1E025F is a gallium-nitride (GaN) high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT)-based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) on a silicon carbide substrate; using a 0.25 -μm  gate length fabrication process. GaN-on-SiC has superior properties compared to silicon; gallium arsenide or GaN-on-Si; including higher breakdown voltage; higher saturated-electron-drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. This Ku Band MMIC is available in a 10-lead; 25-mm x 9.9-mm; metal/ceramic flanged package for optimal electrical and thermal performance.
