DESCRIPTION
The TC1950 is a three stages PHEMT low noise amplifier MMIC that operates from 14 to 18 GHz. The
amplifier provides a typical 19 dB of gain with 3 dB of noise figure and delivers 15 dBm of P
1dB
. The
MMIC is fabricated using Transcom’s proprietary matured GaAs PHEMT process. The process features
full passivation for increased performance and reliability. All devices are 100 % DC tested to assure
consistent quality. Bond pads are gold plated for either thermocompression or thermosonic wire bonding.
Backside gold plating is compatible with standard AuSn die-attach.
