TGA2238‑CP is a high‑power X‑band GaN‑on‑SiC MMIC power amplifier from Qorvo, housed in a bolt‑down 15×15mm chassis‑mount package with copper base for superior thermal dissipation. Operating across 8‑11GHz frequency range at 28V drain supply, this three‑stage pulsed amplifier delivers 50W saturated output power with 28dB small‑signal gain and 34% power‑added efficiency, featuring 50‑ohm internally matched RF ports with integrated DC‑block capacitors to reduce external component count for radar and microwave RF hardware designsQorvo.
Typical applications cover X‑band pulsed radar systems, microwave transceiver modules, test‑and‑measurement RF instrumentation, ground‑based radar equipment, point‑to‑point microwave communication hardware, and defense‑oriented RF transmit subsystems. It provides high‑power RF transmission capability for systems requiring broad X‑band coverage, high gain and good efficiency under pulsed operating conditions with simplified PCB integration and thermal management.
FAQ
Q: What operating mode is TGA2238‑CP optimized for?
A: It is designed for pulsed radar operation with 10% maximum duty‑cycle, not for continuous‑wave full‑power work.
Q: Are external DC‑block capacitors required on RF ports?
A: No, DC‑block capacitors are integrated inside the packaged device.
Q: What cooling solution is necessary?
A: Proper bolt‑down heat‑sink mounting is mandatory to avoid thermal damage during high‑power operation.
