General purpose device suitable for commercial and defense markets
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a 2 W GaN driver amplifier from Qorvo.
The TGA2958-SM is a packaged Ku-band amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s 0.15 um GaN on SiC production process (QGaN15). Operating over a 13 to 18 GHz bandwidth, the TGA2598-SM delivers 2 W of saturated output power with 20 dB large signal gain and > 25% power added efficiency. This, along with >25 dB small signal gain allows it to support a variety of low power Ku-band systems or as a linear, high-voltage driver for Qorvo’s line of high-power Ku-band amplifiers.
Packaged in a 4 mm x 4 mm air-cavity QFN package for high performance and easy handling, the TGA2958-SM is fully matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking capacitors on both I/O ports for simple system integration. It is an ideal general purpose RF amplifier that can provide needed functionality across both commercial and defense related markets.
