TGC4603-SM Ka-band Doubler with 1 Watt Amplifier General Description The Qorvo TGC4603-SM packaged MMIC combines a frequency doubler with a multi-stage amplifier, operating at input frequencies of 13.5 - 16 GHz. With greater than 70 dBc isolation between the input and the doubled output frequency, the TGC4603-SM achieves more than 1 Watt output power, with only 3 dBm input power. This performance makes this doubler ideally suited for Ka-Band satellite ground terminal applications. The TGC4603-SM provides the frequency doubling function in a compact 5 mm x 5 mm package footprint. 28 - pin 5 x 5 mm QFN package The TGC4603-SM is RoHS compliant. Product Features RF Output Frequency Range: 27 32 GHz Input Frequency Range: 13.5 16 GHz Functional Block Diagram 31.5 dBm Pout 70 dBc Input Frequency Isolation Bias: VD1 = VD2 = 6 V, ID1 + ID2 = 1100 mA, VDX2 = 6 V, IDX2 = 100 mA, VGX2 = -1.2 V, VGPA = -0.6 V Typical Package Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 1.3 mm Performance is typical across frequency.
