Mouser to stock Macoms 10W GaN-on-Si power amp module
11 July 2019 
The module can be used for a selection of radio and communications applications, including military tactical communications and electronic countermeasures, wireless public safety communications, and land mobile radio systems.
The matched 10W power amplifier module is based on gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) technology. It operates in the 225 to 2600MHz frequency range and offers up to 40% power added efficiency (PAE) and 22dB power gain.
The module supports up to 36V operation (28V typical) and is robust, operating over the -40 to 85°C temperature range. The module has top and bottom mounting configurability and is supplied in a 14 x 18mm package. The module supports radio designs with strict size, weight, and power (SWaP) specifications and has an integrated gold-plated copper heatsink and a laminated air cavity package, which eliminates the need for PCB space and componentry associated with unmatched PA modules.
