Description
The TriQuint TGP2103 is a 6-bit digital
phase shifter MMIC design using TriQuint's
proven 0.5
m MESFET process. The
TGP2103 will support a variety of X-Band
phased array applications including military
radar.
The 6-bit design utilizes a compact
topology that achieves a 11.31mm
2
die
area and high performance.
The TGP2103 provides a 6-bit digital
phase shift function with a nominal 5dB
insertion loss and 2
RMS phase shift error
over a bandwidth of 8.5-11GHz.
The TGP2103 requires a minimum of off-
chip components and operates with a -
5V control voltage. Each device is RF
tested on-wafer to ensure performance
compliance. The device is available in chip
form.
Lead-Free and RoHS compliant
