Description

The TriQuint TGA8334-SCC is a GaAs monolithic dual-gate distributed amplifier. Small-signal gain is typically 8 dB with positive gain slope across the band. Input and output return loss is typically greater than 9.7 dB. Five 600um gatewidth FETs provide more than 26 dB output power at 1 dB gain compression at midband.

Ground is provided to the circuitry through vias to the backside metallization.
