TGA8286-EPU

Product Data Sheet 8 - 10.5 GHz Power Amplifier TGA8286-EPU Key Features and Performance 8 to 10.5 GHz Frequency Range, X-band Two Stage 5-W HFET Power Amplifier 37% P.A.E. at 2 to 3 dB Gain Compression 17 dB Small Signal Gain Bias can be applied from either the upper or lower edges 5.384 x 2.997 x 0.1016 mm (0.212 x 0.118 x 0.004 in.) Description The TriQuint TGA8286-EPU is a GaAs monolithic amplifier designed for use as an X-band power amplifier. A 2.4mm and a 9.6mm HFET provide 16 dB nominal gain from 8 to 10.5 GHz with a typical 37% power-added efficiency at 2 to 3 dB gain compression. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization. The TGA8286-EPU effectively addresses applications such as an Xband radar transmitter or a microwave communication transmitter. The TGA8286-EPU is supplied in chip form and is engineered for high volume automated assembly. All metal surfaces are gold plated to be compatiable with thermocompression and thermosonic wire bonding processes.
