Point-to-Point Radio

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

footprint.

Each device is 100% DC and RF tested on–wafer

to ensure performance compliance. The device is

available in chip form.

The TGC4403 has a protective surface passivation

layer providing environmental robustness.

Lead-free and RoHS compliant.

Bias conditions: Vd = 5 V, Id = 150 mA, Vdbl= -0.8 V,

Vg = -0.5 V Typical
