Product Description
Pin = 2 dBm
The TriQuint TGC4403 MMIC combines a
frequency doubler with a 3-stage amplifier,
operating at input frequencies of 8 - 15 GHz. With
greater than 30 dBc suppression measured at the
output between the input frequency and doubled
frequency, the TGC4403 achieves 22 dBm output
power, with 2 dBm input power. This performance
makes this doubler ideally suited for Point to Point
Radios and Ka Band satellite ground terminal
applications. The TGC4403 utilizes TriQuint’s
robust 0.25um power pHEMT process coupled
with 3 layer Metal Inteconnect (3MI) technology.
The TGC4403 provides the frequency doubling
function in an extremely compact (< 1.8 mm2) chip
footprint.
