Product Description
The TriQuint TGA2526 is a compact LNA Gain
Block MMIC with adjustable gain control (AGC).
The LNA operates from 2-20 GHz and is designed
using TriQuint’s proven standard 0.15 um Power
pHEMT production process.
The TGA2526 provides a nominal 20 dBm of
output power at 1 dB gain compression with a
small signal gain of 17.5 dB. Greater than 30 dB
adjustable gain can be achieved using the Vg2 pin.
Typical noise figure is 2.5 dB at 12 GHz. Special
circuitry on Vd, Vg1 and Vg2 pins provides ESD
protection.
The TGA2526 is suitable for a variety of wideband
systems such as point to point radios, radar
warning receivers and electronic counter
measures.
The TGA2526 is 100% DC and RF tested on-wafer
to ensure performance compliance. The TGA2526
has a protective surface passivation layer providing
environmental robustness.
Lead-Free & RoHS compliant.
Evaluation Boards are available upon request.
