The TriQuint TGA8810 -SCC is a self-biased general purpose amplifier. Two gain stages employ shunt feedback to pr oduce flat gain to 10 -GHz. Output power at 1- dB gain compression is typically 17-dBm and noise figur e is 6 -dB. The TGA8810 -SCC uses on -chip DC blocks to allow dir ect cascading. Three different on-chip self-bias resistors provide the flexibility of selecting bias cur rent and RF per formance.
