Product Description
The TriQuint TGA9092-SCC is a dual channel, three-
stage wide band HPA MMIC designed using TriQuint’s
proven 0.25
µm
Power pHEMT process to support a
variety of high performance applications including
military EW programs, VSAT, and other applications
requiring wideband high power performance.
Each amplifier channel consists of one 1200
µm
input
device driving a 2400
µm
intermediate stage which
drives a 4800 um output stage.
The TGA9092-SCC provides a nominal 34 dBm of
output power at 2dB gain compression across the 6-18
GHz range per channel . Power combined, nominal
output power of 36.5 dBm can be expected with low
loss external couplers. Typical per channel small
signal gain is 24 dB. Typical single-ended Input/Output
RL is 6-8 dB across the band.
The TGA9092-SCC is 100% DC and RF tested on-
wafer to ensure performance compliance. The device
is available in chip form.
