Product Description
The TriQuint TGA4030-SM is a Medium Power
Amplifier and Multiplier for wide band 17 – 37
GHz applications. The part is designed using
TriQuint’s 0.15um power pHEMT process.
The TGA4030-SM provides a nominal 20 dB
small signal gain with 22 dBm maximum output
power. For 2x and 3x Multiplier Function,
TGA4030-SM provides 15 dBm typical output
power @ 9 dBm Pin.
This part is ideally suited for applications such as
Point-to-Point Radio, EW, instrumentation and
frequency multipliers.
Evaluation boards are available upon request.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant

For a median life, Tm, of 1E+6 hours, power dissipation is limited to
Pd(max) = (Tchannel ºC – Tbase ºC)/θjc.
Channel operating temperature will directly affect the device median time to failure (MTTF). For
maximum life, it is recommended that channel temperatures be maintained at the lowest possible
levels.
