General Description
The TriQuint TGA2533 is a Ku-Band Power Amplifier.
The TGA2533 operates from 12.7 to 15.4 GHz and is
designed using TriQuint’s power pHEMT production
process.
The TGA2533 typically provides 43dBm of TOI at
20dBm Pout/Tone, 34 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression, and small signal gain is 28 dB.
The TGA2533 is ideally suited for Point-to-Point Radio
and Ku-Band VSAT Ground Terminal.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant
