TriQuint introduces 27-31 GHz 5 W GaN PA

RFIC

TriQuint's TGA2594 is a Ka-Band power amplifier fabricated on TriQuint's 0.15um GaN on SiC process. Operating between 27 and 31 GHz, it achieves 5 W saturated output power with an efficiency of 28% PAE, and 23 dB small signal gain. Along with excellent linear characteristics, the TGA2594 is ideally suited to support both commercial and defense related satellite communications.
