Covering 500 to 2700 MHz, the TQM8M9079 combines two gain blocks with a voltage variable attenuator (VVA) to provide 38 dB of gain with 30 dB gain variation range.

The TriQuint TQM8M9079 draws 95 mA of current from a 5 V supply to provide 16 dBm P1dB.

Ideal for L-band radio, IF gain control in PTP systems or repeaters, the TQM8M9079 is housed in a compact, 5x5mm QFN package.
