Product Description
The TriQuint TGA4902-SM is a Ka-
Band packaged medium Power
Amplifier. The TGA4902-SM operates
from 25-35 GHz and is designed using
TriQuint’s power pHEMT production
process.
The TGA4902-SM typically provides 25
dBm of output power at 1 dB gain
compression, with small signal gain of
18 dB.
The TGA4902-SM is ideally suited for
VSAT ground terminal market, Point-to-
Point Radio, Point-to-Multipoint
Communications.
Evaluation Boards are available.
Lead-free and RoHS compliant.

These ratings represent the maximum operable values for this device.
Combinations of supply voltage, supply current, input power, and output power shall not exceed P
D
.
Total current for the entire MMIC.
When operated at this bias condition with a base plate temperature of 85 °C, the median life is
2.3E4 hours
Junction operating temperature will directly affect the device median time to failure (Tm). For
maximum life, it is recommended that junction temperatures be maintained at the lowest possible
levels.
These ratings apply to each individual FET.
