Output power and efficiency of PA without EMI filter
at JP56 SMA
Note: With the
EMI filter, the maximum power level is limited to 80W, due to the 50Ω test.
The PA’s system reliability is optimized when the temperature rise of each device is kept to a minimum,
including that of the GaN E-HEMTs. The GS61008Ps are especially well suited in this regard, for a
number of reasons. First, they have very low switching losses which allows them to operate at high
efficiency and a low temperature rise at 6.78MHz, the common frequency used for resonant wireless
