Now at Mouser: Qorvo's Low-Power, High-Gain QPA9121 Driver Amplifier for 5G mMIMO Applications
Mouser Electronics, Inc. and Qorvo today introduced into the distribution channel the QPA9121 driver amplifier, part of Qorvo's innovative RF portfolio of gallium nitride (GaN) transistors and amplifiers. The wideband, high-gain, and high-peak-power driver device uses Qorvo's advanced gallium arsenide heterojunction bipolar transistor (GaAs HBT) process technology to enable exceptional power density, reliability, and gain in a reduced footprint.
"For mobile infrastructure applications, Qorvo is a leading manufacturer that offers the core technologies and cutting-edge RF solutions designers want. We are very excited to stock the QPA9121 driver amplifier for our customers worldwide," said Jeff Newell, Mouser Senior Vice President of Products. "As the industry's NPI leader, Mouser is committed to offering the products, resources, and distribution expertise necessary to help designers accelerate the delivery of next-generation RF and IoT products to the market."
The Qorvo QPA9121 driver amplifier, available from Mouser Electronics, is a low-power solution ideal for variety of RF wireless infrastructure, repeaters and distributed antenna systems and applications. The device features an operational frequency range of 2.3 GHz to 5 GHz, and is internally matched to 50 Ω over the entire operating frequency band. The amplifier provides 27 dBm P3dB with a 28 dB gain at 2.6 GHz, and have been proven to deliver excellent DPD correction with 5G signals as wide as 160 MHz.
With a quiescent current of 95 mA, the QPA9121 can also function as a driver in a transmit path DPD loop, perfectly suited for massive multiple-input, multiple-output (mMIMO) applications — the transmitting and receiving of multiple data streams simultaneously over mobile 5G using several antennas on the base station and the same time/frequency resources. The amplifier is supported by the QPA9121EVB-01 evaluation board, also available from Mouser.
