TGA2238-CP
8 - 11 GHz, 50 Watt GaN Power Amplifier
Qorvo's TGA2238-CP is a packaged, high power X-band amplifier fabricated on Qorvo's 0.25 um GaN on SiC production process. Operating from 8 -11 GHz, the TGA2238-CP achieves 50 W saturated output power with 24 dB power gain and 34 % power-added efficiency.
The TGA2238-CP is packaged in a 10-lead 15 x 15 mm bolt-down package with a Cu base for superior thermal management. Both RF ports (RF input internally DC blocked) are matched to 50 ohms allowing for simple system integration.
The TGA2238-CP is ideally suited for both military and commercial x-band radar systems and data links.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.
For additional information on GaN thermal performance refer to the following application note and video.
