Together, the TGP2105-SM and TGP2107-SM offer many options for wideband application in Radar, EW or Satellite Communications. Unpackaged DIE are available for chip and wire requirements as the TGP2105 and TGP2107.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGA2611, 2-6GHz LNA utilizing TriQuint’s GaN25 technology. GaN processes provide a highly robust input coupled with low noise figure and high gain, ideal characteristics for S and C-band radar receivers or broadband communication receivers. Small signal gain of the TGA2611 measures 25dB while mid-band noise figure is 1dB. Drawing 110mA from a 10V supply, TriQuint’s TGA2611 provides 22dBm P1dB with OIP3 of 32dBm. Available as a 2.1×1.5×0.1mm DIE, this TriQuint GaN LNA is unique to the market.
RFMW Ltd., announces design and sales support for a new line of dual use RF Absorber + Thermally Conductive pad material. Trademarked Suppress-n-Sink, the target application is reducing harmful reflections from heat-sinks and heat-spreaders used on RF components. New designs often include miniaturization as a design goal forcing the product packaging and heat sinking to be an integral part of the solution. Material advancements such as GaN, with its higher power densities, exacerbate the problem engineers face with removing heat from their designs. Once that problem is solved, the resulting RF reflections created by the heat sink’s surface can cause…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for TriQuint’s TGA2567-SM, an AlN packaged, 2-20GHz low noise amplifier (LNA). The TGA2567-SM provides 19dBm P1dB output power with 17dB of small signal gain. Greater than 16dB of adjustable gain can be achieved by varying Vg2. Typical mid-band noise figure is 2dB while OIP3 is specified at 29dBm. The TGA2567-SM requires 100mA of current from a 5V supply. Fabricated on TriQuint’s proven 0.15um pHEMT production process, the TGA2567-SM is available in a 4x4mm QFN package suited for both commercial and defense related applications.
