20W GaN PA for defense communications systems
The new device and TriQuint’s other GaN, GaAs, SAW and BAW products are being exhibited at the annual Military Communications Conference (MILCOM), San Jose, CA (USA), October 31-November 3.
The TGA2572 delivers 20W for Ku-band (14-16 GHz) defense and commercial communications systems. The new device is fabricated using TriQuint’s production-released GaN on SiC process; it typically offers 30% PAE and 24dBm of small signal gain. Offered in die and packaged forms, TGA2572 samples will be available in early 2011. Contact product marketing for details.
