TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. has released two new cost-effective packaged RF power amplifiers that combine high output with high efficiency, gain and linearity. These solutions are excellent choices for use in Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs) and point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint microwave applications.
The TriQuint TGA2527-SM is very linear and operates from 12.5 to 15.5 GHz, while the TGA4539-SM operates from 28 to 30 GHz. The TGA2527-SM offers very high efficiency, typically 20% greater than competing devices, at its saturated power level (Psat) of 31.5dBm. Both have P1dB RF power output of 30dBm (1W) and are housed in cost-efficient 5x5mm QFN packages; both solutions are RoHS compliant and have onboard power detectors for monitoring purposes. They are designed to be extremely easy to integrate into RF circuits and are highly rugged. The TGA2527-SM can handle an RF input power of 24dBm CW and the TGA4539-SM can handle 22dBm.
