DESCRIPTION
The TC1950 is a three stages PHEMT low noise amplifier MMIC that operates from 14 to 18 GHz. The
amplifier provides a typical 19 dB of gain with 3 dB of noise figure and delivers 15 dBm of P1dB. The
MMIC is fabricated using Transcoms proprietary matured GaAs PHEMT process. The process features
full passivation for increased performance and reliability. All devices are 100 % DC tested to assure
consistent quality. Bond pads are gold plated for either thermocompression or thermosonic wire bonding.
Backside gold plating is compatible with standard AuSn die-attach.
