General Description
The TriQuint TGF2023-2-10 is a discrete 10 mm GaN
on SiC HEMT which operates from DC-18 GHz. The
TGF2023-2-10 is designed using TriQuint’s proven
TQGaN25 production process. This process features
advanced field plate techniques to optimize microwave
power and efficiency at high drain bias operating
conditions.
The TGF2023-2-10 typically provides 47.4 dBm of
saturated output power with power gain of 19.8 dB at 3
GHz. The maximum power added efficiency is 69.5 %
which makes the TGF2023-2-10 appropriate for high
efficiency applications.
