TriQuint's GaAs and GaN devices made for defence applications

The company's latest gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) improve efficiency and reduce part counts
TriQuint Semiconductor is releasing new phase shifters, high-power limiters and GaN MMIC amplifiers that can improve system performance, increase efficiency and reduce part counts in wide-ranging defence and commercial applications.

TriQuint's new GaN and GaAs product solutions are released in conjunction with the Defence Manufacturers Conference (DMC), taking place from December 2nd to 5th in Orlando, Florida. The firm's company representatives will be at booth #701 on Dec 3rd and 4th. TriQuint can arrange a meeting at the booth for interested parties.

The firm's three new high-power limiters handle up to 100W and protect sensitive circuits from electrical overload. Their low flat leakage shields low noise amplifiers while low insertion loss maximises efficiency with reduced noise. The devices are ideal for receive chain (Rx) protection in commercial and defence radars.

TriQuint's two new phase shifters cover 6 - 18 GHz, including X- and Ku-bands. They deliver wider frequency coverage than competing solutions for reduced part counts. Their 6-bit digital logic assures smooth, continuously variable time delay functionality. They are packaged for easy assembly in radar, electronic warfare and satellite communications applications.

The new GaN amplifiers cover a wide range of applications with greater output power at superior efficiency, which enables smaller systems and reduced part counts. TriQuint's new die-level amplifier delivers superior broadband power and efficiency; its two new packaged 50W amplifiers support key radar (9 - 10 GHz) and satellite communications (7. 9 - 8.4 GHz) frequencies.

TriQuint's Spatium high power amplifiers deliver a highly reliable, efficient alternative to travelling wave tube wave amplifiers for commercial and defence communications, radar and EW.

Spatium dramatically improves broadband RF power and efficiency through patented coaxial spatial combining techniques using GaAs or GaN MMIC amplifiers. Spatium supports the need for RF power at high efficiency from hundreds to thousands of watts.
