Description
The CMD217 is a 8.5 W GaN MMIC power amplifier die ideally suited for Ka-band communications systems where high power and high linearity are needed. The device delivers greater than 20 dB of gain with a corresponding output 1 dB compression point of +36.7 dBm and a saturated output power of +39.3 dBm at 35% power added efficiency. The CMD217 is a 50 ohm matched design eliminating the need for external DC blocks and RF port matching. The CMD217 offers full passivation for increased reliability and moisture protection.
