Description
The TriQuint TGA8399B-SCC is a monolithic self-
biased low noise amplifier with a balanced input
for low VSWR. This LNA operates from 6 to 13
GHz with a typical mid band noise figure of 1.5
dB. The device features high gain of 26 dB
across the band, while providing a nominal output
power at P1dB gain compression of 11dBm.
Typical input and output return loss is 18 dB.
Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to
the backside metallization. The TGA8399B-SCC
low noise amplifier is suitable for a variety of
commercial and high frequency applications, C
and X band applications such as radar receivers,
electronic counter measures, decoys, jammers
and phased array systems. At 5V the drain
current is approximately 65 mA and can be
increased or decreased by selection of the
appropriate source resistors in each stage. For
an application note concerning drain current
selection see:
