Product Description
The TriQuint TGA2513-EPU is a compact
LNA/Gain Block MMIC with AGC via the
control gate. The LNA operates from
2-23 GHz and is designed using
TriQuint’s proven standard 0.15 um gate
pHEMT production process.
The TGA2513-EPU provides a nominal
16 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression with a small signal gain of
17 dB. Typical noise figure is < 3 dB from
2-18 GHz.
The TGA2513-EPU is suitable for a
variety of wideband electronic warfare
systems such as radar warning receivers,
electronic counter measures,
decoys, jammers and phased array
systems.
The TGA2513-EPU is 100% DC and RF
tested on-wafer to ensure performance
compliance.
