Nxbeam expands its mm Wave MMIC portfolio with the introduction of a GaN E-Band power amplifier MMIC. The NPA7000-DE operates from 65 to 76 GHz and provides an average saturated output power of 1 W, average power-added efficiency of 28 percent and an average linear gain of 13 dB. The chip dimensions are 1.575 × 0.875 × 0.050 mm. The output power level of this MMIC makes it ideal for point-to- point E-Band communication links. The small size of this MMIC simplifies power combining schemes, which can greatly increase the range of E-Band point-to-point links. The design consists of two amplifier stages that are independently controlled, allowing the bias and performance to be tailored to end-user specifications. The RF input and RF output are matched to 50 Ω with DC-blocking capacitors for easy system integration. Bond pads and backside metallization are Au-based for compatibility with eutectic die attachment methods.
