TGA3042-SM 710.5GHz 4.5W GaN Power Amplifier Product Description Qorvos TGA3042-SM is a packaged high power MMIC amplifier fabricated on Qorvos production 0.15um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). The TGA3042-SM operates from 7 10.5 GHz and typically provides 4.5 W saturated output power with power-added efficiency of 38.5% and large- signal gain of 23.5 dB. This combination of wideband performance provides the flexibility designers are looking for to improve system performance while reducing size and cost. The TGA3042-SM is matched to 50 with integrated DC blocking capacitors on both RF I/O ports simplifying system Product Features integration. The wideband performance makes it ideally suited in support of multiple radar and communication Frequency Range: 710.5GHz bands. P : 36.5dBm at P = 13dBm OUT IN PAE: 38.5% at PIN = 13dBm Lead-free and RoHS compliant. Large Signal Gain: 23.5 dB at PIN = 13 dBm Evaluation boards are available upon request. Small Signal Gain: 32 dB Bias: VD = 20V, IDQ = 200 mA Package Dimensions: 4.50 x 4.50 x 1.74mm Performance is typical across frequency.
