DESCRIPTION
The TC4522 is a four stage PHEMT power amplifier MMIC that is designed for use as an output stage or a driver in
VSAT ODU. The amplifier provides a minimum of 28 dB gain and delivers 0.5 watt output power from 13.75 to 14.5
GHz. The small package provides a simple, cost effective solution to customized designs. The base material is gold
plated copper-tungsten for excellent thermal dissipation.
The MMIC is fabricated using Transcom’s propriety matured GaAs PHEMT process. The process features full
passivation for increased performance and reliability. It is 100% RF tested to ensure compliance to performance
specifications.
