Primary Applications
• Point-to-Point Radio
The TriQuint TGA1073A-SCC is a three stage
MPA MMIC design using TriQuint’s proven
0.25 um Power pHEMT process. The TGA1073A
is designed to support a variety of millimeter wave
applications including point-to-point digital radio
and LMDS/LMCS.
The three stage design consists of a 200 um input
device driving a 480um interstage device
followed by an 800um output device.
The TGA1073A provides 25dBm nominal
output power at 1dB compression across
26-34GHz. Typical small signal gain is 19 dB.
The TGA1073A 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.
• Point-to-Multipoint Communications
• LMDS CPE PA

2/ Minimum output third-order-intercept (OTOI) is generally 6dB minimum above the 1dB compression point (P1dB).
Calculations are based on standard two-tone testing with each tone approximately 10dB below the nominal P1dB.
Factors that may affect OTOI performance include device bias, measurement frequency, operating temperature,
output interface and output power level for each tone.
