36 - 40 GHz Power Amplifier TGA1073C-SCC
Key Features and Performance
• 0.25um pHEMT Technology
• 36-40 GHz Frequency Range
• 26 dBm Nominal Pout @ P1dB, 38GHz
• 15 dB Nominal Gain
• Bias 5-7V @ 240 mA
• Chip Dimensions 2.4 mm x 1.45 mm
Primary Applications
• Point-to-Point Radio
The TriQuint TGA1073C-SCC is a two stage PA MMIC
design using TriQuint’s proven 0.25 µm Power pHEMT
process to support a variety of millimeter wave
applications including point-to-point digital radio and
point-to-multipoint systems.
The two-stage design consists of two 400 µm input
devices driving four 400 µm output devices.
The TGA1073C provides 24 dBm of output power at
1dB gain compression and 26 dBm saturated output
power across the 36-40 GHz with a typical small signal
gain of 15 dB.
The TGA1073C requires a minimum of off-chip
components. Each device is 100% DC and RF tested
on-wafer to ensure performance compliance. The
device is available in chip form.
