Product Description
The TriQuint TGA1135B-SCC is a balanced two-
stage HPA MMIC design using TriQuint’s proven
0.25 um Power pHEMT process. The
TGA11135B is designed to support a variety of
millimeter wave applications including point-to-
point digital radio and LMDS/LMCS.
The balanced configuration two stage design
consists of a pair of 600um input devices driving a
4 x 600um output stage. Power combining is
achieved with on-chip Lange couplers.
The TGA1135B-SCC provides 29 dBm nominal
output power at 1dB compression across
18 - 27GHz. Typical small signal gain is 14 dB
across the band. Input and output return loss is
typically -15dB.
An on-chip power detector and reference diode
may be used for power monitoring/control and
bias control loops.

Total current for all stages.
These ratings apply to each individual FET.
Junction operating temperature will directly affect the device median time to failure (T
M
). For maximum life, it
is recommended that junction temperatures be maintained at the lowest possible levels.
These ratings represent the maximum operable values for the device
.
