DESCRIPTION

The TriQuint TGA8300 - SCC is a GaAs monolithic distributed amplifier designed for use as a multioctave general - purpose gain block. Four 189 - µm gate width FETs provide 7.5 -dB nominal gain and 5.5- dB noise figure from 2 to 18- GHz. Typical power output is 20 - dBm at 1-dB gain compression. Typical input and output SWRs are 1.5:1. Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.

The TGA8300 - SCC is supplied in chip form and is engineered for high -volume automated assembly . All metal sur faces are gold plated to be compatible with thermocompression and thermosonic wire-bonding processes.
