MMIC Power Amplifier
Qorvo’s QPA0506 is a MMIC power amplifier fabricated using Qorvo’s QGaN25 0.25 µm GaN on SiC production process. Covering 5 to 6 GHz, the QPA0506 typically provides 36 dBm of saturated output power and 18 dB of large-signal gain while achieving 53 percent power-added efficiency. The QPA0506 can support a range of bias voltages to optimize power and PAE to system requirements. The QPA0506 is matched to 50 ohms with a DC blocked input and a DC grounded output.

MATERIALS
3D Material
Radix™ 3D printable dielectric is the first 3D material featuring a dielectric constant of 2.8 and low loss characteristics at microwave frequencies. These printable dielectric materials give RF designers unprecedented design freedom in creating new components, eliminating the need to consider typical manufacturing constraints. The Radix™ material is designed for use on a scalable, high-resolution printing process, offering the industry a way to manufacture dielectric components like gradient index (GRIN) RF lenses and other complex geometries at scale.

Next-Generation Digitizers
Three new digitizer cards from Spectrum Instrumentation raise the standard of PC-based instrumentation performance: The cards are capable of streaming acquired data over the PCIe bus at an impressive 12.8 GB/s—nearly twice as fast as any other PCIe digitizer currently on the market. It means they can continuously run at their maximum sampling rate of 6.4 GS/s, with 12-bit resolution, streaming this massive data to CPUs or CUDA GPUs for real-time processing.
