Primary Applications
The TriQuint TGA1073C-EPU is a two stage PA MMIC
design using TriQuint’s proven 0.25 µm Power pHEMT
process to support a variety of millimeter wave
applications including point-to-point digital radio and
point-to-multipoint systems.
The two-stage design consists of two 400 µm input
devices driving four 400 µm output devices.
• Point-to-Point Radio
• Point-to-Multipoint Radio

The TGA1073C provides 24 dBm of output power at
1dB gain compression and 26 dBm saturated output
power across the 36-41 GHz with a typical small signal
gain of 15 dB.
The TGA1073C requires a minimum of off-chip
components. Each device is 100% DC and RF tested
on-wafer to ensure performance compliance. The
device is available in chip form.
