General Description
TriQuint’s TGA2958 is a driver amplifier fabricated on
TriQuint’s TQGaN15 GaN on SiC process. The TGA2958
operates from 13 – 18 GHz and achieves 2 W of saturated
output power with > 21 dB of large signal gain and at least
25% power-added efficiency .
The TGA2958 is an ideal choice to drive TriQuint’s high
performing Ku-band GaN HPA’s allowing the user to
operate the driver and HPA off similar voltage rails.
Fully matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking
capacitors on both I/O ports, the TGA2958 is ideally
suited for a variety of military and commercial radar and
communications applications.
Lead free and RoHS compliant.
Evaluation Boards are available upon request.
