Product Description
The RFHA1006 is a wideband Power Amplifier designed for CW and pulsed applications such as wireless infrastructure, RADAR, two way radios and general purpose
amplification. Using an advanced high power density Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor process, these high-performance amplifiers achieve high efficiency, flat
gain, and large instantaneous bandwidth in a single amplifier design. The
RFHA1006 is an input matched GaN transistor packaged in an air cavity ceramic
package which provides excellent thermal stability through the use of advanced
heat sink and power dissipation technologies. Ease of integration is accomplished
through the incorporation of optimized input matching network within the package
that provides wideband gain and power performance in a single amplifier. An external output match offers the flexibility of further optimizing power and efficiency for
any sub-band within the overall bandwidth.

Bias Instruction for RFHA1006 Evaluation Board
ESD Sensitive Material. Please use proper ESD precautions when handling devices of evaluation board. Evaluation board
requires additional external fan cooling. Connect all supplies before powering evaluation board.
1. Connect RF cables at RFIN and RFOUT.
2. Connect ground to the ground supply terminal, and ensure that both the VG and VD grounds are also connected to this
ground terminal.
3. Apply -5V to VG.
4. Apply 28V to VD.
5. Increase VG until drain current reaches 88mA or desired bias point.
6. Turn on the RF input.
Typical test data provided is measured to SMA connector reference plane, and include evaluation board / broadband bias
network mismatch and losses.

Device Handling/Environmental Conditions
RFMD does not recommend operating this device with typical drain voltage applied and the gate pinched off in a high humidity,
high temperature environment.
GaN HEMT devices are ESD sensitive materials. Please use proper ESD precautions when handling devices or evaluation
boards.
DC Bias
The GaN HEMT device is a depletion mode high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). At zero volts VGS the drain of the device is
saturated and uncontrolled drain current will destroy the transistor. The gate voltage must be taken to a potential lower than
the source voltage to pinch off the device prior to applying the drain voltage, taking care not to exceed the gate voltage maximum limits. RFMD recommends applying VGS = -5V before applying any VDS.
RF Power transistor performance capabilities are determined by the applied quiescent drain current. This drain current can be
adjusted to trade off power, linearity, and efficiency characteristics of the device. The recommended quiescent drain current
(IDQ) shown in the RF typical performance table is chosen to best represent the operational characteristics for this device, considering manufacturing variations and expected performance. The user may choose alternate conditions for biasing this
device based on performance tradeoffs.
Mounting and Thermal Considerations
The thermal resistance provided as RTH (junction to case) represents only the packaged device thermal characteristics. This is
measured using IR microscopy capturing the device under test temperature at the hottest spot of the die. At the same time,
the package temperature is measured using a thermocouple touching the backside of the die embedded in the device heat
sink but sized to prevent the measurement system from impacting the results. Knowing the dissipated power at the time of
the measurement, the thermal resistance is calculated.
In order to achieve the advertised MTTF, proper heat removal must be considered to maintain the junction at or below the maximum of 200°C. Proper thermal design includes consideration of ambient temperature and the thermal resistance from ambient to the back of the package including heat sinking systems and air flow mechanisms. Incorporating the dissipated DC
power, it is possible to calculate the junction temperature of the device.
