The TriQuint TGA1082B-EPU is a three stage
HPA MMIC design using TriQuint’s proven
0.25 um Power pHEMT process. The TGA1082B
is designed to support a variety of millimeter wave
applications including point-to-point digital radio
and LMDS/LMCS and Ka band satellite ground
terminals.
The TGA1082B provides 30 dBm nominal
output power at 1dB compression across
27-32GHz. Typical small signal gain is 22 dB
at 30GHz.
The TGA1082B requires minimum off-chip
components. Each device is 100% DC and RF
tested on-wafer to ensure performance
compliance. The device is available in chip form.
