RF transistor enables high output impedance

NXP Semiconductors’ A3G26D055NT4 RF transistor delivers 55 Watts of peak power from 100 to 2690 MHz for applications ranging from cellular infrastructure and RF energy to wideband communications including 5G mMIMO radios.

Operating from a 48V supply, the device has a pre-matched RF input and boasts 50% efficiency and >13 dB of gain.

The higher power density of GaN on SiC enables a high output impedance, making devices easier to match across the device bandwidth and ensuring a cooler channel temperature for higher reliability.
