Montreal, Canada, June 18, 2012 - RF Micro Devices, Inc. (Nasdaq: RFMD), a global leader in the design and
manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies, today
announced the release of the
RFHA1025, a highly-efficient 280-watt pulsed gallium nitride (GaN) RF matched power transistor. The
RFHA1025
delivers superior performance versus competing silicon power technologies.
 RFMD’s
RFHA1025
complements the recently released 380-watt RF3928B, the highest output power S-Band device in RFMD’s matched power
transistor family. RFMD is expanding its portfolio of GaN-based power amplifier transistor products across bands,
increasing its leadership position in the radar market.
RFMD's GaN matched power transistors extend range, reduce size and weight, and improve overall ruggedness in
new and existing radar architectures. The
RFHA1025
operates over a broad frequency range (0.96-1.2GHz) and delivers 280-watt pulsed power, high gain >14dB, and high
peak efficiency of >55%. Additionally, the
RFHA1025
incorporates internal matching to simplify and shrink designers’ circuits. Packaged in a hermetic, flanged ceramic
package, the
RFHA1025
leverages RFMD's advanced heat sink and power dissipation technologies, delivering excellent thermal stability and
conductivity. RFMD’s RF393x unmatched power transistors (UPT) can be used as drivers to the
RFHA1025.
Jeff Shealy, general manager of RFMD's Power Broadband Business Unit, said, "RFMD is pleased to expand our
GaN-based product portfolio, offering industry-leading power performance in support of diverse end markets. RFMD's
GaN product portfolio demonstrates our commitment to technology and product leadership, and we look forward to
introducing additional GaN devices in the near term that feature superior power density, high power efficiency,
and rugged dependability."
RFMD is exhibiting its GaN power portfolio at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium through June 22, in
Booth 1210 at the Palais des congress, in Montreal, Canada.
Availability
Samples and production quantities are available now through RFMD’s online store
or through local RFMD sales channels.

wireless markets, our ability to bring new products to market, our reliance on inclusion in third party reference
designs for a portion of our revenue, our ability to manage channel partner and customer relationships, risks
associated with the operation of our wafer fabrication, molecular beam epitaxy, assembly and test and tape and
reel facilities, our ability to complete acquisitions and integrate acquired companies, including the risk that we
may not realize expected synergies from our business combinations, our ability to attract and retain skilled
personnel and develop leaders, variability in production yields, raw material costs and availability, our ability
to reduce costs and improve margins in response to declining average selling prices, our ability to adjust
production capacity in a timely fashion in response to changes in demand for our products, dependence on gallium
arsenide (GaAs) for the majority of our products, dependence on third parties, and substantial reliance on
international sales and operations. These and other risks and uncertainties, which are described in more detail in
