Product Description
The TriQuint TGC4405 is a multifunction chip. It is an
upconverter with RF output frequencies of 17 to 27
GHz. It contains a frequency doubler and local
oscillator (LO) amplifier, operating at LO Input
frequencies of 8 - 13 GHz. The part is designed using
TriQuint’s 0.25 um 3MI power pHEMT process.
The TGC4405 nominally provides 13 dB Conversion
Gain and 28 dBm OTOI when operated with LO inputs
from 2 - 5 dBm. The part also achieves 30 dBc typical
isolation between the fundamental and doubled
frequency.
The TGC4405 is ideally suited for low cost markets
such as Point-to-Point Radio, and Ku-band Satellite
Communications.
The TGC4405 is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer to
ensure performance compliance.
The TGC4405 has a protective surface passivation
layer providing environmental robustness.
Lead-Free & RoHS compliant
