The new GaN PA is suitable for pulsed or continuous wave applications, including military jammers, wireless infrastructure and radar, as well as general-purpose amplification.

Additional key features of the HMC8205BF10 include:

• Power gain for P_SAT: 20 dB
• Small signal gain: 28 dB
• Gain flatness: +/- 2 dB
• Supply voltage: VDD = 50 V @ 1300 mA
• Package: 10-lead LDCC

An evaluation board for the new device is also available.
